A pickslide, or something else?

Guitarsquirrel7 · 11-12-2009, 04:55 PM

Boston is one of my favorite bands.

And I think Tom Scholz is a great guitarist.

One thing I like about him is he does this pickslide or something and I don't know if it's got any effects behind it or if its all just technique.

The sound I'm referring to is....

YouTube - Boston-something about you

Listen from about 0:44-0:53 and you'll hear the slide at about 0:50.

Any idea's how to do it?

Sounds like a pickslide to me. Try experimenting with different size/material picks.

Just scrape that pick across the strings. Nothing to it.

Yeah its just a regular old pickslide. That one probably has an effect on it done during the processing of the song, but other than that its nothing
