Sent to me via email. Thought I would share:
- 1. Volume is your friend, rely on it to play the instrument for you when you can’t think of anything,
- 2. Feedback is cooler if the instrument is in direct contact with the amp,
- 3. Use at least 2 distortion boxes, more is cool. (quantity > quality),
- 4. Short scale bass is easier to play and you can really stre-e-e-tch the strings to get cool sounds,
- 5. Don’t hesitate to bang on the instrument,
- 6. You can get some cool sounds by violently pushing, mashing or jabbing the strings straight into the fretboard,
- 7. Get wasted first,
- 8. Never write songs, they will only inhibit free expression
