Question:I don't mean like the one on top of the other double neck, but where it makes a v, and they play both sides at once. If you've seen The Pick of Destiny, Kage plays it in Master Exploder, and Michael Angelo Batio kills on it. Anyway is it all hammer ons and pull offs? I see no strumming? I am confused how can they play so many consecutive notes without so much visible strumming?

well, of course they only do hammer ons and pull offs and slides. the only thing you have to do to play it is just practice that. you don't need to strum at all, and if you trained your fingers well it will sound fine, although i don't like it when there is no pick in the playing. michael angelo batio is so good with that because i think he is left handed but played as a right handed. that brought him problems picking so he practiced hammers an pulls more
