Guitar Fire on Steel, Tapping by Jeff Williams :)

Acoustic Guitar : Not Perfect but .. one wierd thing about open tuning on acoustic is .. acoustic guitars are far from perfect in their intonation. what i mean is .. an open A should be and A at the 12th fret too .. and it NEVER IS .. electric guitars have intonation adjustment .. NOT ACOUSTICS .. so i have to tune the guitar HALF WAY between the 2 actual notes .. and then slightly bend them with my fingers when fretted .. i really wish i had a guitar with good action and GREAT INTONATION ... till then some notes may sound a tiny bit to the left of in tune .. it's the equipment .. a

watch Jeff Healy..

@dorio329699 yeah , i met him and talked to him for about 3 hours. He's definitely a genius and his playing is un-paralleled but .. even he would agree .. 2 hand acoustic flat tapping is completely different from what he's does. Jeff's right hand lead works are just amazing .. i watch him every chance i get just for the lead chops.

i just started playin really five months ago. i had a lyon by washburn acoustic then my parents saw me practicin close to every day and i started gettin a lot better quick. So, then they gave me this electric acous. takamine g series (one of the higher end ones) and the action is great. I am goin to get the neck adjusted bc some of the notes will come off sour, but i heard that using like toothpicks or somethin like that at the top of the neck beneath the strings can help and be a quick fix

[capo420420]

@zkreegs70 the neck adjustment is probably your best choice.

If you use open tunings , you'll have to re-adjust the neck for lower string tension.

IF your going to "shim" a string at the nut , use a small piece of guitar string.

I've done that and it does work if the nut has been cut too low.

Probably lasts longer than a toothpick too ;)

congrats on your "guitar upgrade" in honor of your hard work and perseverance

keep up the great work ..

hey im curious as to how to play that type of style. ive practiced but i need some pointers and im kinda wondering if you have any.

[capo420420]

@bryfrytheguy study arpeggio's / chord theory ( just the basics is all you need to start ) Use the left hand mostly for "rooting" yourself in the chord and the right hand for color and melody. Also, position the guitar so the neck doesn't pop up and down. most of the weight to the neck side. Hope that helps .. good luck .. Jeff

Thanks for responding so quickly. Somewhere I have this really great documentary about the various incarnations of guitar [acoustic and electric, various body styles from dread to flats of all kinds] and there are all kinds of GREAT players on that. I'll find it and send it to you - I think you'd dig it. For real, it made me dig out vinyl, listen to everybody, then play for hours and adapt. Your style is interesting. Best luck in all your endeavors. -d

@capo420420 Thanks for your note on Lap Tapping. I find it very unique. In fact my 9 year old daughter who plays both piano and guitar can do that but she is just fooling around. I never knew this is a serious form of guitar playing. Your music is definitely out of this world.

Hi 2 Hong Kong :)

This style is most commonly called "Lap Tapping" .

It is a very new style so it's also referred to by other names such as: flat tapping, piano style or air tapping.

I'm glad you enjoyed it ..

I enjoyed your video of Taylor Swift "Teardrops on My Guitar" .. keep up the great work ..

What is this style of playing call? What kind of tuning it needs?
