7 Bizarre Guitar Techniques That Will Make You Sound Like a Pro

Strap in because these seven guitar techniques might be your backstage pass to sounding like a pro.

They won’t include selling your soul for musical genius, but mastering them is as powerful as a guitar riff that gives you goosebumps. Whether you’re strumming in your bedroom or taking center stage, these techniques will amplify your talent.

1

String Bending: The Vocal-Like Guitar Technique

String bending is a fundamental technique in electric guitar playing that allows guitarists to imitate the expressive qualities of the human voice.

By pushing or pulling a string across the fretboard, the guitarist can change the pitch of a note, creating a smooth, vocal-like transition between tones.

7 Bizarre Guitar Techniques That Will Make You Sound Like A Pro

This technique is particularly effective for adding emotion and depth to solos. It enables the guitarist to create a sense of tension and release, mirroring the way a singer might use vibrato or glissando to convey feelings.

String bending has become an essential tool for guitarists across various genres, from blues and rock to country and beyond, and is often considered a hallmark of expressive, soulful playing.

2

Vibrato: Adding Depth and Expression Technique

Vibrato is a fundamental guitar technique that creates a wavering, pulsating effect by rapidly bending and releasing a string in a controlled manner.

7 Bizarre Guitar Techniques That Will Make You Sound Like A Pro

This technique adds depth, warmth, and expression to sustained notes, making them sound more dynamic and alive. By varying the speed, width, and intensity of the vibrato, guitarists can convey a wide range of emotions, from gentle and subtle to intense and dramatic.

Mastering vibrato is essential for any guitarist looking to develop a rich, expressive tone and add a personal touch to their playing.

3

Hammer-ons: Creating Smooth, Legato Notes on Guitar

Hammer-ons are a popular guitar technique that allows players to create notes without using a pick or plucking the string.

To execute a hammer-on, the guitarist first plays a note usually and then “hammers” a fretting finger down onto a higher fret on the exact string, causing the string to vibrate and produce a new note.

7 Bizarre Guitar Techniques That Will Make You Sound Like A Pro

This technique is often combined with pull-offs (the reverse of a hammer-on) to create rapid, fluid passages or to embellish a melody.

Hammer-ons are particularly useful for playing fast, legato (smooth and connected) phrases and are a staple of many lead guitar styles, from rock and metal to blues and country.

4

Pull-Offs: Creating Notes Without Picking

Pull-offs are a guitar technique that complements hammer-ons, allowing guitarists to create descending notes without using a pick.

To perform a pull-off, the guitarist starts by fretting two notes on the same string, with the higher note being played first.

7 Bizarre Guitar Techniques That Will Make You Sound Like A Pro

The fretting finger playing the higher note is then “pulled off” the string, causing the string to vibrate and sound the lower note. Pull-offs are often used in combination with hammer-ons to create fast, fluid passages or to add decorative flourishes to a melody.

This technique is essential for playing legato phrases and is widely used in various guitar styles, from rock and metal to blues and country.

5

Guitar Slides: Creating Smooth Glissando Effects

Slides are a guitar technique that creates a smooth, glissando effect by sliding a fretting hand finger up or down the neck while maintaining pressure on the string.

This technique allows guitarists to seamlessly transition between notes, adding a sense of fluidity and expression to their playing.

7 Bizarre Guitar Techniques That Will Make You Sound Like A Pro

Slides can be used to connect phrases, add emphasis to specific notes, or create a sense of tension and release within a melody.

Mastering slides is crucial for guitarists looking to develop a more vocal-like, expressive playing style and add a touch of elegance to their phrasing.

6

Double Stops: Technique That Creates Rich Harmonies

Double stops are a guitar technique that involves playing two notes simultaneously, often on adjacent strings.

7 Bizarre Guitar Techniques That Will Make You Sound Like A Pro

This technique creates a rich, harmonically complex sound that adds depth and texture to a guitarist’s playing. Double stops are commonly used in a variety of genres, including blues, rock, country, and jazz, to create powerful riffs, melodic embellishments, and expressive phrases.

Mastering double stops requires precise fingering and string control, as well as a good understanding of harmony and intervallic relationships on the fretboard.

7

Palm Muting: Technique for Percussive, Rhythmic Playing

Palm muting is a guitar technique that involves dampening the strings with the palm of your picking hand, creating a percussive, chunky sound.

7 Bizarre Guitar Techniques That Will Make You Sound Like A Pro

This technique is achieved by lightly resting the side of your palm on the strings near the bridge while playing, which mutes the strings and shortens their sustain. Palm muting is widely used in genres like rock, metal, and punk to create tight, rhythmic guitar parts that drive the song forward.

Palm muting requires finding the right balance between pressure and placement of your palm on the strings to achieve the desired level of muting and articulation.

    Actually, regarding the palm muting section, it’s not just for creating a ‘chunky’ sound but also for controlling feedback and adding texture to the rhythm section which aligns with the physics of sound damping. It might be worth exploring these nuances further, Lewis.

Ted's List is a project run by The Emery Foundation - a Micro-Trust of GivingWorks, registered charity number 107877.

The idea of Ted's List was setup to raise funds for musicians during the Covid-19 pandemic as part of the Get Musicians Working project.

Our 'Champions' are the musicians we think showcase their instrument to the wider public, and make a substantial difference to the popularity of their instrument family. Non of the 'Champions' are remitted in any way by Ted's List, and our list is completely impartial. If you have a favourite musician you would like to nominate to be added to our list of 'Champions', then please do contact us.
