Shimmers

Posted Sun, 01/10/2010 - 07:25 by jodanchudan

I gather the shimmer (I think it's called) involves moving quickly between two split notes - Joe Filisko does an example in his interview. My questions are: which holes are common ones to shimmer and over which chord, and is there a training method you use to build up the shimmer?

Thanks
