Beginners tapping - Written by GuitarTools.co.uk member "Guitar Guy" First of all, we will be leaving our picks behind. This first lesson will concentrate, on a simple exercise using only the 1st and 3rd (or 4th depending on how well you can stretch) fingers of your fretting hand and the pointer (1st) finger of your usual picking hand. If you wish to practice using the middle finger of your picking hand you may, this would enable you to continue holding your pick with your thumb and 1st finger, which is helpful while playing live. This first exercise has become somewhat of a cliché over the years. Technically, it's the notes in an Amin triad (A-C-E) played in an ascending pattern. ( )= tap fret E|---5h8(12)---5h8(12)---5h8(12)---5h8(12)-----------------------| Let's talk about the technique itself, and how you would go about playing that piece. The 1st finger of your fretting hand should be on the 5th fret, and there's really no reason for it to move from there, keep it there. Practice your technique for awhile, then try it on other strings! E|-----------------------------------------------------5h8(12)---| That's not meant to be played the way I wrote it, just practice the tapping technique on each string.
