Lick #1 - Scale Tapping

After Christmas holidays and some days sick with a cold...a new video comes.

From now on, and in addition to my monthly video, I'll try to upload every month a pair of videos showing some licks for all of you who play guitar out there and want to learn some cool ideas. I hope you enjoy and find them useful.

The first one is about tapping the minor scale, first descending and then ascending. This kind of ideas are used for example by Steve Vai or Nuno Bettencourt. The scale is Am.

i have a question i need to hammer strong or soft?

@ramqr This is not an easy question hahaha You have to hammer strong enough in order to have a good sound but soft enough to be relaxed and be able to play fast. I mean if the strongest way you can play is at 10, then try to play this around 5 or 6. Begin practicing this really slow and try to hammer with your finger tip and curving your finger. You should feel comfortable (not tense) and the notes should ring enough although you don't have distortion.
