This video didn't receive much attention compared to some others it seems. Which is too bad because after watching both your vids on tapping, I thought you really gave good advice. The one thing I'd like to see now is a lick combining tapping and picking. Like how to go from one to the other (I guess I could find a solo that uses both and work on it too).
justin m8 i got a Ibanez grg170dx and i cant get tapping its not my mistake but to get sound i have only to pick. ? what do you think its wrong? my chords tight or something? thanks
@WutangClan4LiF3 Have you still got the issue? Most likely you aren't pressing hard enough or you need better pickups, also try changing from bridge to neck pickups and vice versa.
In this example he's tapping every third note in the particular Major Scale - basically you need to know the Major Scale in order to really understand why he's tapping which note.
Thanks for the other video man. This shit's really helpful :D And could you possibly put up a vid on tuning?? Idk how to tune my guitar but I can play fairly good.
Good thing about tapping is that it's not insanely hard and people who don't play guitar will propably be like, ''Wow'', because it sounds really difficult....
This age thing is not important... unless you're a liberal. Then it's "hope I die before I get old" and all that BS hippie crap that rattles your brain once you're over 30. This age thing is a reoccurring theme and my suggestion is grow up and get over it. You like the blues? B B King teaches the blues and he's 83. You have experience, dont short change that by being hung up on age. Get away from liberalism -- don't turn your head into a bowel of porridge. Good luck.
@WhippedCream66 Liberals, for the most part, are immature idealists chasing some utopia dream. They rely mostly on "feelings" that they've absorbed through media and Hollywood. There are millions of them and they all think the same thing: they're rebels. Ironic, isn't it. Thinking for themselves is not important to these conformists. When they are not self righteous about their world view - a view most have a hard time to defend - they'll resort to name calling. Again, emotion rules the day.
@WhippedCream66 No, I don't think they are bad people. Gullible is more like it. I wouldn't want to be like them -- though I've spent a good part of my life as a liberal.
@WhippedCream66 no, but they tend to think they're all mighty because they tend not to believe in God, so they force their ideals on others, or call you stupid if you don't agree with them, like Bill Maher
Just a quick question: why would you end up on note C if you're playing a G major scale? I don't get that.....unless it's a pattern to follow the tapping.BTW,awesome lesson.Very patient and very clear!!!
It's just for the purposes of the lesson, so you can play 3 notes per string. If you were really playing this for a show or something, you'd probably extend it and land on a G, B, or D (tonic, 3rd, or 5th of scale).
hi all, am a beginner to electric guitar. i have a doubt. Shal we need to use distortion when u play tapping in electric guitar ? Also is there any need to use any particular pick ups when playing tapping in electric guitar ???? Please help me. Thanks in advance.
well if you can finger tap well with a clean channel thats great means you not relying on distortion and gain to tap also doesnt matter wat pickup but i prefer the bridge pickup for more treble
I think i can help you with this one, you can practice with your distortion off,it´s nice for practice when you´re watching tv and your mom won´t complain :) but it´s very good for axoustic songs . And it´s very good to play with distortion ´cause the sound is amazing and you get the chance to be familiar with distortion. I use the pickup from the bridge. I hope it helped!!
Ive honestly never seen this kind of taping before, and honestly don't like it much... not to say it wouldn't be usfull, and I'm sure ill give it a whirl sometime, but Ive mainly always liked the Van Halen single string tap that runs up neck.
Usually the majority of the players I know around town and have seen shows of, use that kinda of taping, maybe a vid on that?
hes rite man. if u want u can hold the pick with ur middle finger between the top joint and the palm join, then it is easily acesible yet u can tap with the first finger... thats what i do if i dont use my middle finger
thanks man! i cant really get the hang of this one cuz im a noob (just got my guitar for christmas) but that first tap lesson is so good and i can amaze my family that i can do that...they dk bout like 7 finger tapping ...shhhhhhhh!
Thumbs up, Justin....Great description. Got a bit lost about 6 minutes into the description of other scale positions, but, will run it over a few times...
this guy give very good guitar lesson for free, others give guitar lessons for no less than 10 USD/month and you don't even comprehend what they're talking about.
isn't that a Mode? wouldn't that be the Dorian posistion? and if it is a mode, why is he calling it a scale. whats the difference between a mode and a scale????
I cannot tell you how much your finger tapping videos have helped me. Thanks a ton! Also, is it OK to use my pinky instead of my ring finger to hold the fret? It slips a lot with the ring since I can't stretch that far.
13s? haha try 9s ouch! but yea agree goood lesson!
