Outrageous playing!! Way to go Troy!!
@Troy Awesome stuff, and Dweezil is a super cool guy from the one time I met him.
Any reason why you chose the trailing edge DT style form for the performance, over your bread and butter typical USX form? Extra shred power?
Pretty much. I didn’t know which tecnique felt the most natural because everything was so weird and adrenaline-fueled. But I always get some nice physical comfort and speed with either of the wrist motions, whether RDT or DT, when using trailing edge.
It has to do more with the form, not the grip itself. And this will be highly dependent on finger lengths, thumb joint range of motion, and so on. Not everyone can do this, and even if they can, not everyone will get any benefit from this beyond whatever they normally do.
As usual, I recommend using whichever technique feels the most comfortable and gets the best results in testing.
when i heard Troy launch into these sequences i immediately thought of MAB and Nitro!
Very cool, what an awesome experience.
Yes! I was so happy when I saw this…truly great work and I know that this was fun despite the pressure or maybe even because of it! Dweezil is such a sweet guy and it’s just a gas to be around him. So, so cool that these two cats that I respect so much got together onstage!
