learn to shred part 5 : tapping

 Finger tapping

fingertapping is perhaps the most versatile technique you can use on the electric guitar
the most common tapping style is linear tapping; tapping notes along one string


building a good tapping technique will take time,
but will ultimately be hugely beneficial for you

the best way to use conventional tapping would be with the middle or ring finger  ( anular )
on your right hand as this will allow you to still hold your guitar pick

one finger tapping  (finger tapped notes are bold text)

take this pattern and apply it to a scale over all six stings
and practice it slowly for a hyper speed fluent soloing technique


two finger tapping  ( middle finger is red and ring finger is green)
