Gran tono! Me gusta mucho su banda :D

That amp setup sounded good too!!

Now I have a stupid question... What is the black band wrapped at the nut/headstock? A type of string mute? If so thats cool... when I don't have a backup bass its hard to stop and stuff the foam under my strings when its a quick turn around to the next song :)

You guys have a rockin band for sure!

That's not a stupid question, man :). Instead of using words, I'd like to point you to a couple videos that will explain you the purpose of that hair scrunchie:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZDlQ8Z-_4E&fmt=18"]YouTube - Tapping mini-course part 2[/ame]

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKcqz8X8Foo&fmt=18"]YouTube - Tapping mini-course part 6 (with Van Halen's "Cathedral")[/ame]

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you so much!

I do the foam mute under the strings technique, but I think I need to try out a scruncie now!!

Thanks for the videos...:D
