The Carpal Tunnel Blues

Watch bassist Marshall Grant’s “boom-chicka-boom” technique with his right hand

Try doing that for nearly three minutes.

(thanks to Dan for starting me down the road that led to this)

   Interesting. The scratch-like rhythm you can also hear is Johnny Cash “playing” muted strings (He’s not playing chords).

   Heh.. Who is that guy singing? He sounds an awful lot like Johnny Cash… but he’s wearing… white?

   The video is an excellent find! Thanks for posting it.
