Introduced by the band Vibe 45 in the late 1900's, the 'Paw Claw' is an advanced strumming technique for the bass guitar, wherein the elbow and forearm are situated subtly perpendicular to the strings from the butt end of the instrument allowing for flexibility to float/position the strumming hand ('Paw') so that the index, middle and ring fingers are able to intersect frets 15, 17 and 19 over the E, A and D strings respectively. The 'Claw' represents a uniform, pulsing hammer motion executed intermittently and hastily at a 70 degree attack angle, snap depressing the string(s) as if to 'Claw' it deep into the neck of the guitar. Commonly used to pocket lock midrange to low mid frequency rhythmic, funk house drops with the intent to uniquely accentuate drum kicks, hits, stacks and jabs in collaboration with Chuck and Hambone.

Get the Teslagating mug.A heterosexual person who can't mind their own business, centers themselves around queer narratives that have nothing to do with them, is constantly in a state of upset when exposed to something that is exclusively for queer people and not them. Definitely smells like a jizz sock, uses 3-1 shampoo, and can't tell the difference between hummus and tzatziki.
Oh, you have a problem with Batman's new Robin being queer? Sounds like you might actually just be an upseterosexual. Seek help, friend <3
