The mushing technique is a technique executed by placing the pick about a 90 degree angle to the strings and usually applying more weight on the picking hand to give a slicing effect. Here is an example of this form of technique which also applies to 4 note per string concept.

The flickering technique is sort of rapid burst of notes either in ascending or descending form. Usually, the note sounds like a set polyphonic notes due to the fastness and a one sound flickering effect. Here is an example of this form of technique which also applies to 4 note per string concept.

Biography

What a completely refreshing and superbly arranged piece of music! Loved the drum track but I loved the guitar adventures even more... a fine example of pure sonic wonderment and indescribable skill!
-Colin Lynch of Besonic

Here is a short hypothesis. Suppose J.S. Back went down to his local music shop and purchased a Les Paul Guitar and a Marshall stack? Perhaps he would have created symphonic guitar rock the likes of Shiva Sky.
-Philip E. Hardy of Besonic

With all the skill that an accomplished keyboard player might display in rendering the works of Bach, Shiva Sky accomplishes with the electric guitar. The performance and technical skill seem patterned after the metal work of Jason Becker, but the blending of traditional and metal is a styling that shows an emerging uniqueness by Shiva Sky.
