Mama's Trippin' Ben Harper / JP Plunier (The Will To Live, 1997) One whole tone down © Guitare & Clavier / Hors série spécial Master Class / Ludovic Egraz - Nicolas Valiadis. Reproduction with their authorization. Ben Harper : "I chose this example for the rhythm and funky style. I play this song differently in the album (with more slap). The way of playing : Right hand - use your thumb.

Play with your forefinger and third finger, respectively on the 5th and the 7th fret...   ... Don't hold the note. Quick and staccato rhythm.   Forefinger pinches only the four first strings. Hold the note to break the rhythm.   Before this movement, Ben Harper catches delicately the strings C, F, A like a rake-down. Let ring the strings. Apply your forefinger, middle finger and third finger with very regulary rhythm, respectively on the 3th, 4th, 5th fret. Fingers stay in position.   Use your middle finger to down from the7th to the 4th fret...   ...   ...   Classic hammer-on (forefinger and middle finger respectively on the 3th and the 4th fret).   The final is different in the album version that I give you at bottom.
