[mustaineisgod96]

Thx for the lesson. I tried finger-tapping before but never got it right. You've been a great help.

[killdethadnakedparty]

How can you switch positions so quickly?

[66serendip]

very helpful, willl give it a try , thanks.

[MarioIsAFish]

@9valerie7 its a capo, hes just attached it to his headstock, which looks pretty damn awesome

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

does anyone else hide the pick away by curling up your 1st finger?

[Guitraboy]

for some reason i used to thing you had to tap with the pick. x3

[ARapidLurch8788]

@Guitraboy You can use your finger or a pick, you will get different sounds out of the two.

[9valerie7]

Whats that white thing on the headstock?

[umutterli]

very good lesson!

[DragonWarrior7771]

Thank you so much for this!! I love playing metal but I dont usually do the solo parts in some songs because I had no knowledge of finger tapping. Thanks!!

[jeeshwa123]

OWWW. turn your damn amp down.

[wholewurld]

@jeeshwa123 well, a thing i didn't notice him mention in the video is that when you are tapping, it is good to have your input signal cranked. it looks like he's using some tubed out fenders.

[rpmcalgary]

Thanks for the lesson! Good stuff :)

[796slash]

Police siren at the end..... Is tapping illegal!!

[sdkeller72]

Justin... you rock, I love all of your video's. It'll be awhile before I'm up to trying this, but I'll remember this lesson once my skill level increases some more.

[SerenityDivide]

Great tutorials! I'm learning how to play guitar thanks to you XD

[mEtAlMaNiAc787]

that was just plain awesome

[PulsarLogic]

sounds like the Song of Time to me

[holdemstacy]

Justin love the skipping part on your advertisement. Thanks.

[nasinukas]

x.x my pinkey hurts and i think i cut my finger doing this... but it is easy after 3 hours

[specialed171]

This is so helpful. I am brand new to guitar playing and I feel so much better after this. Please make another.

[robonaka]

thank you very much sir. very helpful

[adityajayaswal]

i am hearing some noise probably due to distortion or the single coil guitar pickups personally i love emg passive pickups ( just my own opinion)

[Vaderzson]

this helps alot i just got a guitar last week and have no idea how to play

[DarkWolfie72]

this helps me a lot, ive only been playing a year or two so i don't really know the best techniques for playing. before i knew what finger tapping was i had accidentally figured it out on my own just messing around, but the way you do it makes a lot more sense.

[bigman1225]

Do you guys think by using different tunings on your guitar it'll make tapping easier?

[claux23]

Great lesson. Thanks!

[jerryleesprague]

cool jam

[MrSkeff]

that sir, is a great lesson thank you!

[theperformingguy112]

you are legendary. Your welcome in ireland any time

[FretZeroGuitar]

It really helps to know where all your natural notes are on the guitar to do not only this, but also a lot of other stuff on guitar.

[luloosuperofficial]

A-minor pentatonic tapping... nice...

[welcometojungle1234]

That was awesome Sir....You really Rock! The way you explain is really good..Keep up the good word...thanks a lot again

[nimthirielhime]

I just wonder since i don't play el.guitar, if these techniques account for the acoustic guitar as well?

[theperformingguy112]

@nimthirielhime you probably could. itd sound really awesome i think. i practice everything on the acoustic. tenacipous d do all their electric stuff on a acoustic

[TheMrAfter]

show off XD j/k thanks man this really did help

[manka6]

Way to crank a monster tone like that out of a single coil.

[thunderscratch66]

OMG!! thank you!!! all the other finger tapping vids i've seen are just kids tapping away, but with no theory or principle involved. with what you have in this vid, I am really sure that this will take me to a whole other sound. thanks, and i'm subscribing :)

[SXIZOFREN1S]

hello,im a new guitarist and im 16 y/o.I started to play guitar cause i love metal,rock and...maybe blues.Can you guys recommend me some songs that i can practice on? I can play sweet dreams and some other Marilyn Manson's songs.I'd be greatfull.(sry about my english)

[manka6]

@SXIZOFREN1S Don't use online tabs, they're usually wrong. Save up and buy a tab book of a band you like. Better yet, listen to it and try to learn it totally by ear. Also, LEARN HOW TO TUNE, very very very important.

[Briley510]

I did it!!! This is AMAZING!!!

[intheblues]

great video man, cheers! :)

[Swapneeiil]

best tapping lesson on youtube!!

[migalpigal]

[21Placebo]

How do you stop the strings ringing out when tapping? when I do it at high speed it sounds good but the overtones ruin it. Please help Justin or fans.

[PoisonedV]

@21Placebo well he did say he keeps the base of his hand resting on the strings to help mute them.

[tamrielsOownOidiot]

Im having a lot of trouble hitting the higher strings when i pull off the lower strings x.x

[KMinferno]

cant wait to be able to do this

[Funkyman391]

Thanks for the lesson :) I can finger tap correctly now!

[thecheesedude1]

Best teacher on Youtube I've seen, and FREE too :D

Thank you Justin! ^.^

[MattyPS]

thank you Justin

[lukeiveson]

5:45 good 

[jinku77]

Very good lesson man, thanks

[stingrayhbr]

"This is kind of a very basic finger tapping technique" sayes Justin at 6:33 after playing an ultra professional solo at 200 miles an hour. Um ye........ so what would be an advanced tachnique then???? hehe. Sensational video thank-u.

[bugfuqr]

@stingrayhbr - Still basic. Just, rather than repeating four times before switching strings, he switched each time. The magic of "ultra professional" soloing isn't insanely flashy riffs, it's simple things linked well. In tab: E string: 12-5-8, B string: 12-5-8 repeat.

[stingrayhbr]

@bugfuqr I like his videos

[PDXguitarfreak]

Another great lesson Justin - you articulate it and lay it out so nicely. Btw, I finally got around to posting a lesson for the Beat It solo (with tabs), I hope you enjoy and keep up the good work!

[talkingtrashagain]

excellent video. i've always had trouble with this technique for some reason, but your video really made things click. thanks!

[lyrics987]

Helped a lot man! thanks much.

[13burgerking]

Is there any way to stop this shredding up your tapping finger?

or is it just practice?

[SkipFour]

@collin292 everyones fingers get messed up =] so the only thing that will help is more playing

[collin292]

@SkipFour

yeah, they have toughened up in those 2 weeks :)

still hurts abit though coz it all pull offs and they really shred away at you.....

[fhuf45rh4r54ukr4jhrn]

[dreamquarter]

@CatGameDaiyE Red Hot Chili Peppers, the greatest band that has and will ever exist in this cruel world :P

[CatGameDaiyE]

[Aeroman1996]

Whenever I tap slow it sounds good but when I start to get fast it starts to sound bad...Am I moving my fingers to fastso 1 finger muffles the other? or is it just my crappy amp?
