This has been bugging the shit out me for ages, I was beginning to think I was the only one who didn't know
I'd imagine it's not exactly a skillful technique but it just annoys me that I can't figure it out haha
Fiction has it, although most of the times I have seen it done it's over the third or fifth fret. Hold Your figer over (insert fret here) and pull Your pick in an upwards motions across the strings on it's side!
definitely not a growl lolI'm almost positive that is a scream/growl. not something that youd make with an instrument lol. but i'm sure you could do it.
Danza III - Yippie-Kay-Yay-MotherTrucker - 8 string Test - YouTube
you can see it being done in this video.
Whereas the OPs video basically sounds like his just muting the strings very low (Around 1/2nd fret) and lightly (so they still produce slight harmonics) and scraping up in high gain.

Like that.
I think he's actually pressing the strings into his bridge pickup. Tony Danza does a similar thing. Not positive on this one, but try it. Makes a pretty heinous noise.
are his thicker strings in the middle?
