Tapping

[Norton]

Alright, after getting no answer on the thread of Reb Beach's video, I 'm asking it here.


I can do some basic tappings, like the one on Dream Warriors solo, and such.But I really envy the players who can do some cool two handed tapping stuff .Like the one on this video.(in the ending part)

I want to set a base for further tapping stuff, so anyone knows some cool and useful tapping exercises?

Try typing "tapping lessons" or "guitar lessons" into google or yahoo. You can find a bunch of free lessons around the net on a variety of topics. Some of the better ones include either audio or video examples to go along with the tab.

For what it's worth, I've seen several lessons on tapping out there but I can't recall exactly where.

Good luck.

He did a video for REH called "The Two-Handed Guitarist". He also has out a three-volume book/CD set on tapping called "The Right Touch". You can get the video and the books through his website: Steve's site

That's pretty easy to do with 2 hands....but can you do it with just one? My pinky is too slow for that .

It's not called tapping if you use just one hand.

I think I should've said "multi fingered tapping"

Sorry

Yeah, it's a legato...George Lynch played it with one hand .

Tapping is one of the techniques I really can't do...I'm downloading that Steve Lynch video already .

George Lynch's older than EVH. Of course he can do it with one hand

How do you guys do your muting while tapping so there are extraneous noises or ringing strings? Does most of the muting come from your right hand?

[Norton]

I do the muting with the lower side of my palm.
