Hi guys, here's the lesson that some of you have asked me for. It's a nice little riff/melody designed to give you an introduction to tapping, and a bit of confidence to carry on to something a little more advanced in the future.

There are many ways and approaches to tapping, but I find this one is the most helpful for beginners in the technique.

Don't forget, like all of my videos, don't get frustrated if you can't do it right away! Start real slow, and build up your ability and confidence. You're training your brain to understand something new. It takes time...

  • i have a low action bass... how does that effect the sound or the technique?

  • @merfeldaniel It does ever so slightly, yes. For the better :)

  • Thanks for the video. Is there any optimal Amp EQ for doing this?

  • @ganonuchia You need enough treble to be able to hear the tapped notes coming through. Not too much though, or it'll sound twangy. Experiment with your sound, and find what sounds best for you :)

  • Wow, very nice (: does this help coordinate your right and left hands? My right hand can play YYZ, but my left can't. D:

  • @mcblahflooper94 Yes it does :)
