How to Tap on a Guitar

[Pjk110]

what song is this from?

[nick00580]

this is the easiest lesson for beginners.

If its not working yet put a capo on the 5th fret so you only have to use 2 fingers.

[TheGuitarDoctor39]

like if you are using this to learn the "one" solo by metalica



[MegaMonoblanco]

how do i do if i have to tap in only one

[cmt4eva]

Thankyou

Finally!

[LukeTefo]

Thanx dude! this is awesome

[craver67890]

i clicked their and it just paused the video :(

[xXyakisikli]

ı thought that tapping is a bit difficult but it is not :D

[snimblobe]

what key is it in ??

[tommapar88]

Downards motion? I don't know much of guitar technics but I know that's calleda pull-off

[crestfork]

does anyone now what tone its on?

[halfhott]

"we have to tap it really hard to get some sound out of it" ...that's what she said

[scerini98]

@Tuatara8081

Thank's i will. :p

Still working on it. getting better tho.

[CardboardTurtle]

@Tuatara8081 don't worry, i'm nailing this shit now.

[scerini98]

LMAO, i get so pissed watching this. Im learning , Hearts burst into fire, by b4mv.

[GuitarDudeC]

Good video man, this was very helpful.

[dipanther1]

wat are the amp settings?

[acexguitar]

hey dude any more tips when tapping on ACOUSTIC guitar? I want my finger tapping to sound better haha anyway nice vid and site.

[CardboardTurtle]

do you need to turn the amp up or hit it real hard?

[MrYellowmetal]

lol this tap is for crazy train solo.

[ArbyandSethFilms]

well at least they have way more free lessons than guitar tricks

[MetalMilitiaMan96]

Freakin awesome man, i can Finally do the MetallicA's Dyers Eve solo!

[TheRyval]

dude everytime I try to finger tap I always get feedback from my other strings...

should I try a compression sustainer? or would this not help?

[bigrock007]

@TheRyval try to mute the other strings that will help. Some guys use a hairband for muting the strings

[ewanslash1]

how do you get that sound? my amp is a laney lg35r and i have a danelectro distortion pedal. is it because of them or is it just me?

[skatebboard]

i just learned how to tap fairly fast, thanks :)

[fatface211]

hello. ima beginner. but for some reason when i try to tap, i notice that i have to tap it really hard, like slamming my finger or pick into the fret board. and its my first guitar. and when i watch other videos i notice that people just kinna like lightly tap it. and when i do tap. the sound is quiet and isnt loud enough. so what do ya think it is, my pickups, strings, or amp. btw, i got a dean vandetta, it came with a bundle, with the amp and everything. so please reply to this. thanks. lol.
