[johnhguitar]

It says that I got this comment/question 15 hours ago. what have you been doing the last 15 hours? Practicing tapping I hope.

[TheBandFake]

Ok. You are awesome john. But what amp are you using???

[johnhguitar]

A frickin' Roland Cube 30 that was provided by the studio. Good for this sort of demo work.

[Testacabeza]

I have to give it a try now,

Thanks John.

Hey, have you ever lost a pick that way?

[johnhguitar]

Of course....thanks for your interest....

Now take the same tapping skills and tablature and transfer it to a fender strat. The Ultimate skill tester :P.

hello im not john but i can still answer. he holds the pick normally with his index finger and thumb and he tap using the middle finger. 2nd option is to tap with a pick holding it sideways

[guitarguy731]

I can't tap with the pick for shit

[mccormickn]

A lot of people actually tap with the edge of the pick. That way you can quickly go into your normal flat picking.
