I think that most people are interested in the techniques that makes your playing unique, and maybe how to use them within the context of a song (maybe even a SW-song). For example, how to execute fast legato passages, tapping, sweeping and three-finger techniques. This being said, I would...

Tabs for Victorious posted as a separate entry, although I retrospect I should have posted it here.

Hello everyone! I've spent the last few days trying to write down the bass tabs for Seventh Wonder's new single 'Victorious', and here are the results! This is by no means perfect, as several fills and runs were too difficult for me to distinguish from the mix. I'm happy if it's around 60%...

This is my go at some parts of the lyrics. "[...] Upon stones to stand the test of time" "We will be victorious In the blink of an eye We ascend to the sky" "The spoken word Ink and paper Stunning, beautiful, eyes and ears"

Thanks for clarifying that Andreas! Gotta get the technique down again, I've played for 7 years with improper technique (not raking, but not playing with rest strokes) and it's a pain to re-learn :P

Woah, that's a fast reply! Thanks for the link Kazar! It was an interesting read. The reason I am wondering is because some people seem to advocate raking and some just detest it. I just want to hear both sides of the story basically. :)

Haloa92: Sounds good! I stumbled upon an earlier thread that Andreas made called Seventh Wonder FAQ. In it he mentions that when he practices he uses strictly alternate picking (except when playing the sweeps). Is there a reason behind this? When I practice rest strokes on the bass I find that...

Thanks for answering the questions! I've learned the hard way to practice things slowly (my technique was crap until recently) and can even sometimes manage to play your songs. (note "sometimes") :P Hope that the new album is full of bass-awesomeness, but since it's Seventh Wonder that's a...

Happy New Years! Was blasting through The Great Escape into the new year. >:)

As a bassist, I am completely blown away by your playing, you give me inspiration to practice even harder and to improve! I have some questions that I hope that you can answer: 1. I wonder what made you pick up the bass the first place and why you wanted to play 6-string bass? (My...

Thanks Andreas! It actually makes so much sense now when you mention it... Next time you play in Sweden i'll make sure to come up thank you! A little bit "Off-topic" but it is regarding technique as well: I'm not sure if you are aware of the terminology, but when playing do you use "Rest...

I'm calling upon the power of Necromancy to revive this thread! Nice tabs for Unbreakable, I am currently working on it myself :) When Andreas mentioned the Sweeping technique I never really understood what he meant. As for the ascending lines, does he strum down with his index/middle finger...
