  • Tapping with more than 1 finger

    When playing tapping I always use mid finger, but what if there're 2 or more strings to be tapped? How should I apply my right hand?

    What exactly do you mean? taping one note at a time on a string the moving to another or tapping two strings at once?
    If your doing notes on one string them moving I barre the lowest notes or get my fingers into position if they are not on the same frett then tap away [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
    19--12--15----------19--12--15
    ----------19--12--15----------19--12--15
    Try to barre the 12th and tap the 19th and hammer onto the 15th sounds cool.
    -19--12--17----------19--12--17
    -----------19--12--15----------19--12--15
    Barre the 12th again and tap the 19th. play the 17th with your ring finger and the 15 with your middle finger.
    --19--17--15--12--15--17--19--17--15--12
    Tap the 19th and play the rest with your left hand.
    If your doing notes on two strings at the same time the barre the notes and you're gonna have to tap both strings and pull off both to keep them ringing.
    Now as far as Stanly Jordan kind of stuff you're on your own learn to play with both hands I guess [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

      Thanks. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I was referring to tapping where strings tapped have great interval, such as:

      G----13-5-6----11-5-6----10-5-6-----11-5-6
      D
      A-11--------9----------8----------9

      In this case, should I use mid and ring finger, or index and mid finger?

        whatever is more comfortable for you. With the stringskip from A to G, it may feel more natural to use index & ring.

        But go with whaever works for you.

          E
          B
          G----13--------11------------10------
          D------11-10------11-10---------11-10
          A-11---------9-----------8----------
          E

          I wouldn't even bother tapping that.

            Tapping sounds better. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

              Most of the time I use my 1st 2nd and 4th fingers, when taping like that.
