Hey Ken -

For that storm passage, it's pretty much a widespread understanding that you just move your fingers as fast as you can and move your arm up and down the fingerboard. This passage is so loud and so quick that the actual notes are not of huge importance. Also, its more of painting a picture. You do not play a harmonic role here, the basses play an important part in creating a picture of a storm. I have several recordings of this and the only recording I've heard where you hear all the notes is Vienna.

Good Luck,
Nick
