Can anyone teach me some tricks for playing high life music guitar? The most know example of course being Prince Nico Mbarga. He absolutely slays with his rhythm guitar!
I figure the technique comes down to alternate picking in combination with a lot of barre chording, sliding and playing double stops and half chords. Perhaps I don't know enough barre chords or I'm not a fast enough player, but I never quite reach the vibe.

If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...
