1. Double vocals during hey ya bit with guitar lead - there are stops during the verse so need to figure out where they sit and how much to record before restarting loop lots of scope for question and answer during solo - and flash - try double bend for 'hey ya hey ya 'bit Use both hands to bend using tapping - B 12b14 D 9b11 - and then tap down to root - can also bend strings closer together out Like string skip with bluesy part of scale as well - E - 578 - D- 7 9 10 High E 578 8 finger tapping harmonies good too and crazy sweeps to different notes
