Magic Guy Berrmyman

[BuddingBassist]

I'm sure we can all agree the riff guy created on magic is catchy and really cool. I was wondering what you call what Guy is playing. I know he is playing the E and G string on the bass I just don't know what that technique is called.

 

Any comments are helpful :):gs:

It's a bit like a slap technique, if not in sound, then in the way he's actually playing, because he's playing with his fingers, but also with his thumb on the upper strings. I think he's also palm muting sometimes, because in clips you can see that he kind of covers all the strings with his picking hand.
