Advanced tapping

[victor5464]

when i say advanced tapping i mean like tapping that incorporates sweeping and anything like that.

feedback would be appreciated

Jeff Loomis - Zero Order Phase - every song...go

Seriously, this man taps out some crazy diminished sweep arpeggios and a whole bunch of others. Give it a try.

Also, check out some of Jason Becker's solo stuff. Doesn't necessarily need to be tapped but you could still learn to do it for super special show off brag rights.

Not a song per se, but nonetheless, an amazing video where he slows it down for you to hear each individual note easily

Jeff tends to stick to the usual "add a note on top, sometimes with a slide" kind of tapping - Chris fits into the "advanced" category more readily to my mind.

For tapping + sweeping You could try a net search or simply add the next chord tone onto your arpeggios for the most basic effect. If you're in Amin and end on A on the 17th fret E string, tap the C on the 19th fret, slide up to E on the 24th, slide back down to A and pull off to E before descending. If the chord tones aren't your thing, just tap notes from the scale on top - easy stuff

Google video search (Sweeping and tapping lesson) The first one looks like Rick Graham so thats definately worth checking out:

Derryl Gabel does some nice two-finger tapping + string skipping:

There's already a couple of tabs of that circling around. Just google it. Some of the fingerings are a little strange, so you'll have to transpose a few notes closer together.

There was that Guitar Techniques issue with 40 tapping licks. Some of the last ones are quite intense, so they'll perhaps help you. I could post them for you if you like.

How about Kiko Loureiro's intro to Angra's 'Heroes of Sand'?

^^

+1

Lorieiro's got some cool tapping passages for Angra. Definitely check that one out.

 

[darbdavys]

Necrophagist have some really cool sweeps with tapping. Well, they're all awesome for me, but some ppl don't like them

 

[vontetzianos]

What about Vai's 'Building the Church'? The whole intro is a monster tapping lick.

 

[SleepingSymphon]

Are there any easier licks or exercises good for building tapping strength in my picking hand? Specifically the pinky.

 

[ShadyDavey]

Yeah, there's a couple of books/Videos by Jennifer Batten (link above) or Steve Lynch that may be helpful to you when it comes to multi-finger tapping but the very simplest idea is to take a tapping run you already know and play it with the finger you want to strengthen rather than your normal digit.

If you have trouble with (for example) your 3rd and 4th fingers then you could do a very simple cross-string tapping lick:

E-------15-----------
B-5-8-12-12-8-5-8-12

Where the B and G are tapped with whatever finger combination you wish and the A and C are played with your left. Or you could do a multi-finger sequence on one string a la Jeff Watson:

Hammer on the A and C with your left hand (if you're right handed) then tap the D with your first finger, E with the 2nd, F with the 3rd, G with the 4th then pull off to the 3rd, then to the 2nd etc etc.

E 5-8-10-12-13-15-13-12-10-8-5

There's quite a few lessons on multi-finger tapping lurking on the internet

 

[SleepingSymphon]

Alright Dave I tried some of that and I didn't think it would be so hard to play the tapping in eruption with my pinky, but anyway my hand should be like a 90 degree angle to the neck right?

 

[ShadyDavey]

I just went with whatever was comfortable which is going to differ for everyone but I guess I was close to the sort of positioning Jennifer/Steve uses - not that I ever did huge amounts of tapping stuff.

I'm sure there were some excercises on the Steve Lynch video for developing tapping hand independance and strength - there might be some of that on the net if you look around?

Nice one Mr Shred

Couple more links to some fairly mental tapping licks for those interested:

Matt Hale:

Daniele Gottardo (Its in italian - run it through a translator if you need to):

Lessons @ Daniele Gottardo.com

I was trying to find a really definitive source of licks (its something I've gradually developed more of an interest in since all my right-hand fingers actually work ) but as yet I haven't found more than a link here or there. That said, there's more than enough information in those links to give you material for months and a great deal of impetus for developing your own.

Good call

There's a couple of lessons on two-handed chord voicings floating around that might be of interest as well - I'll see if I can find them.
