[HoopsMaster4]

how do you keep the strings from ringing when tapping?

[Guitartricks]

@HoopsMaster4 You can use a hair tie at the 1st fret, other wise palm mute with the right hand -Neal

[Guitartricks]

@hardyslash No, stay away from furniture polish!

@petewat98 oh well nevermind then aha:)

[petewat98]

@bronconoah All the hair bands I have are too big and slide around :P

[bronconoah]

@petewat98 put a hair band around the neck by the nut.... itll mute the other strings

Pro tip: Don't just use pentatonic notes, take the 2 and 6 of diatonic natural harmonic too. You can make interesting melodies if you include them! Also the blue note and #5 are great...

Neal, i play for a big band called Hothouse and they've asked me to do a solo over final countdown, all i know is that the solo is on the 15th fret scale, they want some quick tapping, if you can help me learn it for Saturday i would appreciate it :) Thank you :)
