Me showing you how to tap the TTFAF intro without using your elbow to start it....

Important Rules to Remember:
For those of you who haven't already seen a different how-to video on the TTFAF intro...the method I use is this...

Frets:
Green:Left Index
Red:Left Middle
Yellow:Right Index
Blue:Right Middle
Orange:Right Ring

Those are the assignments of your fingers to each fret color.

Here are the Rules of starting the intro without an elbow strum...

Very simple... Play the first 4 non-green notes (since green doesn't matter because you are holding it down the entire time) with your left hand only...The notes will be red, yellow, blue, red.....and immediately after you strum the first note (red) bring your right hand into position to tap the rest of the intro as you are playing the first 4 non green notes so that when you get to the second yellow note you will have both hands on the fret buttons in the positions stated above. Using your left-hand to do the first four non green notes allows you enough time to bring your right hand up to the frets so you can tap eliminating the need for an elbow strum.

Important Note**
For the ttfaf intro do not pay attention to the green notes...there is no need to pay attention to them since you are holding the green fret the entire time. Play the intro as though you were only playing the non-green notes...have this in your head when you go to practice/play it and it makes things a lot easier....

Hope this helps...

  • what i mean is that im lefty but i can't touch the intro like that i do it with one hand only

  • me 2

  • (AS ELVIS)Thank ya,Thank ya very much.

  • that might actually work

  • well for people who are just learning, it's best to learn with either Ben's tapping meathod, or guitar hero phenoms... the easiest one is holding the green with your right and and just fretting the rest of the notes with your left hand.. I just got better with tapping the blue and orange with the right index and middle finger.. works the best.. then learn from there

  • cool thnx hellped me heaps

  • yea ur right

    idk y u have a negative comment because thats true
