Happy burns night fellas, welcome to another groovy thread from your ole pal CJ

This ones all about guitar moves, the sort of things u do to look "wicked-awesome" mid solo!

I want to hear from you guys, what's your favourite manouver? So list any moves u may have seen in a music video, or on stage or your own creation!

Let me get the ball rolling, i seen these 2 in a steve vai video and they are: As steve does a trill, he sort of flaps his tongue about to the noise.
The second is as he does a bend his eyebrows go up, he does it twice and it looks sorta cool, ive also noticed that when i'm improvising if i do something like that, my eyebrows naturally do that anyway and i think conductors in an orchestra do it too.

peace, love and good happyness stuff!

I can't pull a rabbit out of my guitar, but I can pluck a hair out if my arse...

Rock on!

I just moved my guitar out of the way so I could sit in my chair, does that count?

i allways move my mouth loads when im using wah. then harmonics and lifting with the bar is allways a good one. especially when ive got my lights on!

I can't tell you how many times iv wanted to try that, just like Vai or Malsteen. but im kinda scared, and i dont really have the room to swing around my baby.

I wonder if those guys ever practised it first ?? I always wondered if the cord gets in the way ??

how about guitar swinging gone wrong

I once tripped over my guitar lead while I was playing Countdown To Extinction, and somehow managed to keep playing without stuffing up, does that count?

Rock on!
