[maddietara18]

[rustyhustla88]

[saadsnake6]

[H057IL3]

Is this DOWNtuned to F??????

[romekdo77]

[ox0Jason0xo]

not really Unusual its air tap by eric m played well i must admit but theres nothing Unusual about this piece

[crazychadmb]

this guy is a pro Ben Konstantinovic

[ahlsen95]

one question, when you use your index finger to "slap" the string, do you use your whole finger or just the end of it ? Awesome song :D ! found it on Erik's forum :P

[cbhmeh123]

Very interesting, I liked it!

[dupbr13]

Okay, I really dont wanna break my strings while tuning to this, but really want to mess around with this tuning on my guitar...

[Skies0fall]

[dupbr13]

[metallicat1985]

look up eric mongrain if u liked this,eric is the king of lap tapping.

[enyawix]

I found the eric mongrain video looking for a female player. No idea who she is. She was on a morning show years ago. She tapped and drummed too bad I do not know her name

[jeshfred91]

kaki king maybe?

[anunstoppableforce]

hey, how is the guitar tuned? i really want to learn how to do this

[Plep92]

Read description

[nfcnate1]

sooooo sick!! hahaha

[Mezik88]

Nice ending!!! But 3 cheers all around... good display of skill.

[toolbandsober]

God bless you and are you single?

[InnSilico]

i love this style of music ...its great

i just picked up on it like a day ago

it does take some coordination, but i think everyone can play it

just tune it and hit the harmonic bars add in some notes

mess around with delay to

nice work

[Mezik88]

Could you give some examples of different tunings? I need some where to start.

[seanissane]

FACFCF

[Razzle1066]

Top banana

[und3rth3bridg3]

ya dude that was pretty awesome

[Kirkola]

You just HAD to go and post that didn't you?

[DDxHellRaiser]

dude i have been practice this method for awhile. I think it sounds best only when you have new strongs and an acoustic electric /amp setup... unfortunatly my strings are old on the guitar I do this and its an eletric setup... this method dosent work so well with my other 12 string..

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

ok. now you're depressing me. i wanna quit guitar becuz of u. thanks, Dell. thanks a lot...

[MageMagix]

If you like this watch the film "August Rush"!

[Puddleglum94]

[DemiroBiH]

OMFG THATS AWESOME!

off to go practicing

[wormguy21]

I am speechless. I cannot believe how cool this is.

Off to go practice.

[UgLyEmOChIcK]

[kevindinh123]

[Richyyogiboy]

[nothinmannate3]

Where are the meetings? I mean im the only one i know who plays like this its not as widely know as it should be but alot of people do it i need to collaborate theres only so much you can teach urself at one time

[Chefmusicsian]

is this the new way how to play this thing?..whoooh... wonder if frank gambale can play like that?

[ciaputa]

if you like this you'll probably like eric mongrain. awsome sounds btw

[bucubiotchs]

wow, gotta start practing. where in the fuck do i start?

[Bajungadustin]

D,A,G,D,A,D tuning will get you started

[bucubiotchs]

[dayleboi1]

[martyp760]

[annabanana1914]

freakn awesome :D, it sounds like your in drop D, but have you seen the movie august rush, because the style is very similar

[delpuckett]

[dzzjj]

For this u really need a steelstring guitar

and try the tuning to "DACFCD" sounds better.

[fifanowftw]

nicee

[funkyfrg101]

what a good the tuning for laptapping stuff

[GuitarMaster2207]

i'm mesmorized by your skills, i could watch you all day. it's amazing. will you email some techniques for playing this style plez?

[diabloman91]

Came out good, for 1month of practice. but jeez erik is just amazing, i bet you can reach his skills someday. :D

[mahavishnu009]

LOL I love the fancy arm move at 0:40. Keep up the good work, man. Very beautiful music.

[legodesi]

Would you mind If I learned to do this and steal it from you?

[delpuckett]

not at all - check youkuleboy - he did ! peace bro

[baramana]

can u put out a vid how you tune ur guitar FACFCF?

[RamSpoar]

thats not hard. just tune ur low E 1 up(sounds like an E string with ur finger on the first spot), just like ur high E(same story). and the D string 2 steps up(sounds like ur D string with a finger in the third spot). good luck

[Mammamt]

Very good Man...!

and funny face

;-)

[peterrito]

[kaylinndei]

My jaw is still on my computer keyboard! F'ing AMAZING! Gave me chills! NOT an easy thing to do. Thanx for this Del. Peace n luv

[amazingmato]

[helios10]

Wow. Awesome!

[hamrzlawnlake]

Of course I finally went and tried this. Good thing I keep extra strings around. LOL.Thanks for the post Del.

[lowededwookie]

That was fantastic. I only wish YouTube had much better quality video so we could see every nuance that you have in this piece.

[lateloop]

freaking epic. epic.

[jonmccord]

You're a good time Del. Nicely done.

[arune16]

i love this guy!!

[NiteRider107]

i tried this a while back... Ouch. it hurts your fingers, and i couldnt get a real tune outta it. thats cool. Im pretty good with any chord progression, after like 5-10 minutes of practice, depending on song. :) cool song btw. haha

[muntine]

sry i put a minus accidentally

[heituzi]

Cool beans, sir.

[ICUPsomtimes]

[atimor]

[ShiroGomi]

Man, the drumming on the guitar part won it for me. Oh, what this guy could do if he had four arms, huh? Frickin' one-man band right here. Five'd.

[Touristcl]

[delpuckett]

[soretortle]

Its still impressive. Why don't you play everyday? Some sort of day job? You should do this instead.

[biker1395]

[theneris]

[Zx6101214]

Impressive man keep it up.

[makpine]

as always, the evolution of the artist and the regression to the id...it is beautiful.

[Poopfemur]

Cool I do some tapping stuff too just not on the lap

[n111sp]

like the sound, i commented on the loop station video.. this sound reminds me of andy mckee and justin king... i would like to see more of your technical style.. maybe a cover or two... if i could suggest justin kings "knock on wood"

[danner]

i mean its kinda hard to practice that. hahaha

but awesome.

[papajoejoe]

Hey kids! there's a lot better tap guitar out there if you like this style. This guy gives a valiant effort though.

[BorgottoOfBlood]

hey im joe puckett,please look me up and leave me a comment that would be cool if were related,im a bass player in ohio, just look up joe puckett on you tube and theres my vid! later!

[hermungle]

amazing, ivbeen playing for like 2 and 1/2 years and i play alot of different stuff, every thing from like lamb of god to eric clapton to sublime, i wish i could do that, but i honestly dont know where to start, i could use some advise

[pjonmac]

nice one. can definately see the erik mongrain inspiration. loved the outro as well lol. i've been trying to mess around with this style as well and i know its hard. good job and keep it up.

[aidanvol]

Nice work, May I ask the tuning

[delpuckett]

FACFCF low E up to F, the A stays the same, D down to C, G down to F, B up to C and the hi E up to F. good luck.

[IHSVtc]

This shit is shit. You're good. Now i'm gonna try this too. I've written some tapping, but I didn't even bother too try laptapping since i thought only Mongrain could do it. Now i've seen someone else do it, and it was good. So i'm gonna try it. Thanks dude

[themarco84]

i like it....keep up the good work... :D

[buskout]

this absolutely sucks. seriously.

[thommosa]

i notice u got nothing to offer that says you can do better looser.

thats was great delpuckett there may be better but that was great

[buskout]

try some hooked on phonics you illiterate bastard. or at least leave your parent's basement long enough to scout out a dictionary. if you seriously think this is good guitar playing then you are a fuckin retard. not to mention, the arrogant little "hey kids look what i can do" bit at the opening of the tune is a joke in itself. if you're gonna try and snag some ass by showboating on youtube, at least bring something to the table thats worth your cockin off about. dumbass.

[thommosa]

hmm ime sorry did i spelt someting wong dare? No one is saying his a pro at least he put it up. Some people might want to try adding a video showing better and say how it wasn't a bad try, instead of tossing around smartass slaging remarks about how it sucks and how the other dude spelt something wrong and he must be a retard. I think it was a good effort. You must have joined to slag people off. Anyway have fun putting people down maybe one day you will grow up.

[bilip]

told him :P

[slimfast652]

I found your video on Erik Mongrain's site by the way, and this makes me want to give air tapping a try again. Amazing.

[delpuckett]

thanks - Erik was MY inspiration also !!!

[TheAustin]

I especially like your bridge!

[nickshorts]

Alright dude you need to post a lesson.. as far as two handed acoustic stuff like that all I've learned so far is 'knock on wood' by justin king.. tab that out or something mad props to you
