Arpeggio Lick In D Minor

All right, so starting off we’re going to do a D minor arpeggio. So for those of you who like know how to play Stairway to Heaven this is like the very first chord, I’ve just moved up here so I’m on the 12th fret of the D string with my third finger and then my first finger is going to pick up the G, B and high E strings all at the 10th fret. Now when we play this we don’t want we don’t want to just have a sound like a chord, we want the notes to be separated. So third finger picking this note up and then when I go to the G string I release the D string to mute it. Now when I play the G string here I’m not just barring. I’m playing the fret on the G string, but the B string and the high E strings are both muted. And then I’m going to roll my finger up now I’m picking up that B string and the high E string is muted. So on the G string I’m going to roll it up again and now I’m fretting the highest string and the B and the G string are both muted. All right so when we get to the top of that then we’re going to hammer on to the 13th fret on the high E string with your pinky. Now another thing too when you’re when you’re making the approach up is that

I’m also heavily palm muting so that way I’m just trying to isolate those notes separately so they’re not ringing out or I’m not hearing string unwanted string noise. And as far as the technique itself I’m not going to get too deeply into this. There’s lots of lessons on here on the technique for this, but it’s just one long continuous downstroke or one long continuous upstroke. So what I do is I just let the pick come to a rest on the next string and then over time you just get faster at doing it. So we do the hammer-on there and then we slide to the 15th fret. Now what that’s setting us up for is now we’re going to be doing a C major arpeggio, but now it’s going to be a different voicing. So if you see my arpeggio series these are the three string arpeggios. So we’re sliding up here to the 15^th fret and then at the same time you want to drop your first finger the 12th fret here and now we’re going to pull-off to the 12th fret and then our middle finger is going to go to the 13th fret of the B string and then our first finger to the 12^th fret of the G string; so it looks like a D major shape second inversion Triad. Down to the G string and then back up, hammer and slide to the 17^th fret. Now we slide to the 17^th fret then at the same time we want to drop our first finger here onto the 13th fret of the high E string because now we’re going to be doing a D minor. So we’re up here at the 17^th fret and we’re going to pull-off here to the 13^th fret. So now instead of being like a like a D major shape it’s going to be like a D Minor shape. We’re flattening the third to make it minor and then to the 15th fret on the B string, 14th fret on the G string and then back up and hammer and then tap the 22^nd fret. So what we’re doing is we’re tapping one, two, three, four, five frets up because this is movable since we don’t have any open strings we can move this. So starting here, this is where we started this Dm here. So we can move this around wherever we wanted to if we moved it here this is an A. So it’s movable around in different places. The further you are down this way I think it’s more difficult to play and then up here it gets more difficult too and then if you have a 24 fret guitar then you can do it in E minor because you could still do it here, it’s just the you don’t have enough frets to tap the note here. So yeah, it’s not too terribly difficult to play. I mean if you’re if you’re completely new to this technique I’m sure it would be difficult, but I tried to make it something that was a little bit simpler, but so there’s things that you could do to this to make it fancier. You could play the extended arpeggios and just add in the D string and the A string and again these are series that I’ve already done before with all these shapes and stuff that they’re here on the channel.

Conclusion

All right, so there you have it. A pretty cool D minor arpeggio lick and like I said it’s movable. So you can move around any different keys and do different stuff with it.

Killer Tapping Lick In The Style Of Randy Rhoads

Darrin Goodman — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 19:50:59 +0000

Learn to play a killer tapping lick in the style of Randy Rhoads with Guitar Control instructor Darrin Goodman, aka Uncle D. Be sure to get the free tabs to go along with the video instruction and you will be rockin’ this killer lick in record time.

Introduction

How’s it going everybody? This is Darrin with GuitarControl.com bringing you this video lesson and today I want to teach you how to play a really cool, not too terribly tough to play, tapping lick in the style of Randy Rhoads.

Right now Guitar Control is giving away this really cool free chord chart; there’s a link down in the description where you can download yours. Every chord you could ever need all neatly compiled into one sheet and its PDF format you can download it, print it off, put it in your gig bag, put it where you practice; just so you can have any chord you ever need at a glance.

So be sure to click on the link in the description for the tabs and let’s get close up and take a look at this killer Randy Rhoads lick.

Randy Rhoads Lick

All right, so this Randy Rhoads lick is fairly simple as far as we’re going to just do the same shape with the same spacing between our fingers for this entire thing. So we’re going to start off you can put your first finger on the ninth fret of the high E string and then you’re going to use your pinky or your third finger, just kind of depending on the individual, on the 12th fret and then we’re going to use our; well how I do it. So when I tap I like to keep a hold of the pick, I don’t like to put it down or put it in my mouth and tap with my first finger. I’m always holding the pick just with my thumb and my first finger like this… so I just hold on to it and then tap with my middle finger so that way i can transition between the two… So there’s kind of a pattern for it and we start off we tap that 17^th fret and pull to the 12^th fret; tap, pull and then pull 9^th fret to the 12th fret to 9^th fret and then back to 12th fret. So the first thing you probably want to do is just practice that and get that sequence down… All right, so there you have that sequence down and don’t worry about if you can’t play it quickly or whatever, just work on it even slow it still sounds pretty cool. So we’ve got that space we’re going a step and a half between our first finger and fourth finger and third finger and then between there we’re going a two and a half steps to where we tap and that’s one beat. So we’ve got we’ve got a whole measure of that and then what we’re going to do is we’re just going to move everything up a half step and down a string so now we’re going to be on the 10th fret of the B string with your first finger and then the 13th fret of the B string with your third or fourth finger and now we’re going to be on the 18th fret where we tap and it’s the same sequence. So, so far we have… now we’re going to do the same thing, we’re going to move it up a half step and down a set of strings so now we’re on the G string. So we’re at the 11^th fret, 14^th fret and 19th fret… then we’re going to do the same thing again we’re going to move it up so now we’re 12th fret and 15^th fret and 20^th fret, but we’re going to move it down so now we’re on the D string. Now with this at the end of that… he slides out of it… so this is like the first half of it and this is like from the solo for Flying High Again. It’s not exactly what he’s doing, but it’s just like the same general idea, but it just sounds really good… So we slide out of that and then quickly we’re going to do the same thing, but we’re going to move it we’re going to move it down so now you’re going to start off with your first finger on the fourth fret of the high E string and then we’re going up a step and a half so that’s going to put us at the seventh fret with our pinky finger and then we got to go up two and a half or two steps. So we come up here to the 12th fret and we’re going to do the same the same thing, but this to get it started if after we do that slide we do open, hammer-on to fourth fret to seventh fret, pull back off and then this thing starts over; so again it’s the same the same general idea like we were doing before, but we’re just doing it down here now. So now we’re gonna go fourth fret, seventh fret, and twelfth fret, all on the high E string, same sequence or same tapping sequence. I guess we’re going to do the same thing we do a whole measure of it then we’re going to move it up a half step and down a string so now we’re at the fifth eighth and thirteenth fret on the B string and we do the same thing again and shift it up a half step down a string so now it puts us at the sixth fret, ninth fret and fourteenth fret all on the G string… Now we can do the same thing again and shift it up a half step down a string so now we’re at 7^th fret, 10th fret and 15^th fret on the D string… and then to the eighth fret on the A string and slide out of it and we’re going to go back into like that riff in the song. So the whole thing… Okay so it’s not like really super fast in the first place, but I would just work on it you know even if you’re you know… just you know just to work your speed up on it.

Now another thing too when you’re doing this since you’re only playing on the high E string these other strings you know if you’re if you’re just playing like… you get all that other noise happening. So you have to keep that muted. So what I do is I actually since I’m tapping here, I’m just basically taking this part of my arm and then my like the bottom side of my forearm here and I’m just leaving it on these low earth strings… so that way they’re not just free to just really ring out because it won’t sound good. So you can play this with a clean tone and it still sounds really good, but if you practice it with the with the distortion or overdrive on you’ll notice those foreign sounds much better and you’ll be able to actually do it or it’ll be easier for you to mute it because you can hear it.

Conclusion

All right there you have it, a not too terribly difficult tapping lick in the style of Randy Rhoads. So if you like this lesson be sure to give me a thumbs up and leave a comment down below if you have any questions about this Randy Rhoads lick or other guitar related topics.

Introduction

Hey everybody how’s it going? This is Darrin with GuitarControl.com bringing you this video lesson. Today I want to show you a Killer Sweeping Arpeggio Lick With Tapping that uses two different styles of arpeggios and then has some tapping included in it. So this is a movable shape and I’m doing this in E minor mostly just so for the close-up so everything’s close together so you can see both of my hands but it’s easily moved to in whatever key you want. So be sure to click on the link in the description for the tabs and let’s get close up and take a look at this Killer Sweeping Arpeggio Lick With Tapping.

Killer Sweeping Arpeggio Lick With Tapping

All right so the very first thing we’re going to do for this Killer Sweeping Arpeggio Lick With Tapping is this little E minor arpeggio. So for this particular one I’m starting off here with my third finger on the 14th fret of the D string and then we’re going to go to the 12th fret of the G, B and E strings; so it actually looks like the very first chord from stairway to heaven. It goes all the way up here but when you play it you don’t want to hear all those notes. So what I’m doing is this whole sweep picking technique and if you are new to sweep picking, if this is like the first time you’ve tried to do anything as far as sweep picking goes or you haven’t done a whole lot you’re going to probably want to work on the technique itself; I’ve done numerous videos on this subject, I’ll leave a link for one right here. But simply in a nutshell what we’re doing here is that when I play the note on the D string I’m just letting the pick come to a rest on the G string and then when I play that note I’m letting it come to a rest on the B string and then as I go up, when I go to the B string, I roll my finger here on my left hand up so that way it’s still touching the third string but it won’t ring… I just do that the rest of the way up… and each time you just let the pick come to a rest because with sweep picking it’s one long continuous down stroke or a long continuous upstroke. So then we go to the 14th fret of the high E with your third finger and that’ll be an upstroke, to the 15th fret is a down stroke… Then we’re going to slide up to 17 and we’re going to descend a major shape. So we slide up here to 17 we’re going to keep our first finger here on the 14th fret and now we’re going to do a pull-off to that 14 and then to the 15th fret of the B string… to the 14th fret of the G string. Then we’re going to ascend back up so; down, down, so far… Then from there we slide up to the 19th fret with your fourth finger and then your first finger will be on the 15th fret. Now we’re going to do a minor shape. So we’re going to pick after we slide up to 19 it’s a pull off to 15 to 17 on the B string to 16 on the G string and then to 17 on the D string and 19 on the A string… Then we just ascend back up, so back to the D string, back to the G string, back to the B string, back to the high E, 15 hammer 19 and then tap to the 24th fret…

Transposing To Another Key

Now like I said this Killer Sweeping Arpeggio Lick With Tapping is a movable shape, so if your guitar does not have 24 frets then you won’t be able to add that last note in there obviously, but if you’re doing this in a different key, if we just moved it down to a different key, then you’d have enough frets. So if you want to do it in E minor and you do not have 24 frets an alternative to it is after you ascend back up to 19 then just come up to the 22nd fret and do a full step bend… I just really like the way it sounds with the tap. So the whole sequence slowly… All right, so these shapes like I said are movable. So if like this first one here, the reason this is E minor is because that’s an E right there. So if we were to move it down a whole step so we’re on the 12th fret and then the 10th fret… now we just did the same sequence, but we moved it down a whole step, so instead of being an E minor now we’re in E minor; so those shapes like I said they’re movable. I’ve done some other lessons on this so if you just check out that link you can see what these other shapes are and like work with the actual technique.

Conclusion

All right so I hope you enjoyed this Killer Sweeping Arpeggio Lick With Tapping and got something out of it.

Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping

Guitar Control presents instructor Darrin Goodman with an Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping Lesson. Be sure to get the tabs so you can easily follow along with this killer free Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping guitar lesson.

Introduction

Hey everybody how’s it going? This is Darrin with GuitarControl.com bringing you this video lesson and today I want to show you some Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping that just uses an arpeggio and then one note that we’re going to tap. So I’m going to show you how to do it as a major shape and I’m going to show you how to do it as a minor shape and this is a movable shape. So we’re going to be doing it with the D major and we’ll do the shape with D minor, but it’s a movable shape so you can just move it around wherever you want. This is just a nice neutral place where the frets are a little closer together to make it easier when you’re first starting it, but not so close together that everything’s cramped. So be sure to click on the link so you can get the tab so you can follow along with this Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping lesson. Let’s get close up and take a look at what we’ve got going on in this Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping.

The Arpeggios

All right so the first thing we’re going to go over for this Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping is just the arpeggio shapes themselves. So these are arpeggios that are based just off of the first five strings so we will not be using the low E in these shapes, we’ll just start on the A string and ascend up to the high E and then descend back down to the A string.

Major Arpeggio

So let’s first let’s look at the major shape for Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping, these arpeggios are in the root position meaning that the lowest note is going to be the root note, so in this case it’ll be a D and then the next note will be the third and the next note will be the fifth. So for those of you that don’t understand what I’m referring to is when you play a major chord or a minor chord it is what is called a triad, so it has three notes, so it’s the for the major it’s the first, third and fifth notes of the major scale and then for the minor we just take the third and flatten it a half step. So in root position they are in that order the lowest note is the root, the middle note is the third and the highest note is the fifth. So you have also what are called inversions where you mix that up, but we’re not going to get into that today, we’re just going to look at these root position. So we’re going to start off here on the 17th fret of the A string, which is D, and then 16 on the D string with your third finger. So I’m using my fourth finger for the A string and then my third finger for the D string and then my first finger is going to go to the G string on the 14th fret, so that’s D, and then we have our third which is f sharp and then our fifth which is A. Now moving on to the B string, now we’re back we’re up to the 15th fret, I’m gonna use my second finger. So we’re back to one again here we’re on D again, so we went one, three, five, one and now to the high E, we’re at the 14^th fret, first finger and that’s our third to the 17th fret with our fourth finger, that’s our fifth, so one, three, five, one, three, five. So the first thing you’re going to want to do is just memorize that sequence.

Now like I said it’s a movable shape, so the reason that this is D major is because we’re starting here on D, so if we moved it down to the 12^th fret, that’s an A and we did this same shape, now we’re playing in A major. Okay so that’s for our major shape for Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping.

Minor Arpeggio

Now let’s look at our minor shape for this Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping. Now like I said the only difference between the major and the minor is that the third is flattened a half step. So here we’re going to start off the same place on the 17th fret of the A string fourth finger and now when we move to the D string. Instead of going to the 16th fret, because that’s our major third, we’re going to go to the 15th fret, that’s our minor third. So now we’re going to use our second finger, so the A string 17^th fret, fourth finger, to the 15th fret of the D string with my second finger, to the 14^th fret of the G string with my first finger and then back to the 15th fret of the B string with my second finger and now that’s our one again. So our third before was on the 14th fret, but now it’s minor, so we’re flattening it a half step, so 13th fret of the high E with your first finger, 17th fret of the high E with your fourth finger. So the first thing you’re going to want to do is just memorize those two shapes and get them to where you’re not having to think about it so that just like you have a good muscle memory of what the shape is for Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping.

Sweep Picking

Now what we want to do is we want to take a look at what we’re doing with our picking hand is doing in Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping. So for this we’re doing the sweep picking technique. So what that means is that we’re starting on the A string and we’re doing a down stroke from there and then we go to the D string it’ll be another down stroke. So what you really want to do is you want to is when I hit the A string with the down stroke I let the pick come to a rest on the D string and then when I play the D string I let it come to rest on the G and so on and so forth. So it’s you don’t want like several down strokes like that. You want one long continuous down stroke. Now since there’s two notes on the high E, if you wanted to pick all of it you’d be down, down, down, down, down and then an upstroke when you go to there, but what I generally do is I just do a hammer-on, so I’m down, down, down, down, down, hammer, pull and then when we go back the other way, it’s up, do the same concept, so we’re going to pick and let the pick come to a rest on the G string and then when we pick it let it come to a rest on the D string and then let it come to rest on the a string. Okay so getting the sweeping technique down is probably the most challenging part of this, so if you already know how to do this, then you know this will be pretty simple, but if this is a new thing for you I really recommend that you put in some time, really focus on that go nice and slow so everything is that one motion.

When I first tried to do this I just didn’t think it would be something I’d ever be able to do, but just like all things in life, anything that’s worthwhile you have to work for it, just like this Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping lesson.

Tapping

Okay so now for the Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping what we’re going to do now is we’re going to add in one more note on the high E. So we’ll start off here with our major shape. I do that hammer-on and now I come up and I tap the 20th fret with my middle finger on my picking hand so that way I can still hold the guitar pick. So ascend, tap, pull, pull, and descend. Now as you can see when I come over here I do the tap and then I come back to pick. So sometimes you see people are doing it up here, you know they’re picking up higher so that way they don’t have to move their hand back and forth. While there are some things that I think that could be really good and beneficial for, as a general rule I think it’s a bad idea because you really want to be able to get back into the correct place. So we’re tapping that 20th fret which is D, so we are we’re just starting the process over again, if you had more frets you could like slide up to the third or whatever. So if you play this in a lower place on the neck you could actually do that. Now when we go up here the last note in the arpeggio is on the 17th fret and then we’re tapping the 20^th, so that’s one, two, three, four, five frets away. Now you’re going to want to remember that so that way you can play this in a different key. So if I try it here, in A, starting on the 12th fret; one, two, three, four, five, seventeenth fret and it’ll always be that same space. So if you wanted to do that other thing I was talking about you tap 17 then you’d slide up to the third, which is two whole steps away, so the 21st fret, then back down and pull-off. So I would really recommend working on it the way the tab shows just to get that down and then you can spice it up and add some other stuff in there. Okay so now let’s look at the minor shape. So for the minor shape it’s the same idea, starting here on 17 again and again I’m tapping the 22nd fret because that is our tonic, that’s our root note, and from there one, two, three, four, five frets away just like with the major, so it’s really the same thing. Now I know that sounds a little bit strange to play a major and a minor back and forth rooted from the same place, but this is a really good way to practice this and get it down for this Epic Sweeping Arpeggios With Tapping lesson.

Killer Tapping Licks In The Style Of EVH

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 14:33:07 +0000

Guitar Control presents a Killer Tapping Licks In The Style Of EVH – Lead Guitar Lesson w/ Robert Baker. With step-by-step video instruction and the included free tabs (just click the link), you will be rockin’ these licks in record time.

Introduction

Welcome to GuitarCcontrol.com, my name is Robert and today we’re gonna be talking about some basic tapping licks in the style of Eddie Van Halen; the master of it all and other than that if you want tabs those are down below in the description and let’s go ahead and get tapping.

EVH Style Tapping

Okay so here’s what we’re gonna be working on today. We’re gonna be going through these Killer Tapping Licks In The Style Of EVH… I’m sorry; I’m kind of holding my hand a lil bit awkward, I want to make sure you can see both fingers. So what is happening exactly here, well if you’re not familiar with tapping; basically tapping is a two-handed technique where you are physically doing hammer-ons with your right hand as well as with your left hand. So the lick itself is very similar, I’m just tapping with my middle finger on my right hand, you can also use your index finger like Eddie if you want to. I tap my 12th fret and I pull-off to an open high E string now with my left hand I hammer-on to 5; so it’s kind like a hammer-on from nowhere because there’s nothing really helping our left hand get into this. So now the trick is you have to come back and tap the 12th fret again then you have to release your left hand and pull-off to an open and hammer-on back onto the 5th fret. So it requires a lot of synchronization, but once you get it it’s a great technique and it just sounds very musical… Now it’s important to note a couple of things that are happening because we’re gonna be moving across the strings here soon. My right hand, see how I’m actually grabbing the guitar neck? I do this because I’m actually muting all the strings above the string that I’m not playing. So if I was to play the strings now they are all muted right now other than just that high E string and then as I continue up the strings you’ll notice I’m kind of laying my left hand fingers across the strings to mute all the strings below the one that I’m playing. This is gonna save a lot of ringing out; you also see some people use like hair ties for this on their guitar or like fret wraps, but with open strings it really doesn’t work though. So you have to have some muting chops kind of worked into your playing. So we’ll do the first one again now you’re gonna do is move up a string, you just go to the B string, everything stays exactly the same, that’s what’s so great about this one… So when I land on that string I’m muting those other strings; so then we move up to the D, up again to the A… you can move these Killer Tapping Licks In The Style Of EVH all over the place.

Conclusion

I hope you guys enjoyed Killer Tapping Licks In The Style Of EVH. Eddie is a personal favorite of mine and he’s actually why I play guitar. So if you are unfamiliar with some of his work by any chance or just not used to his style, it’s a great style, I think he’s one of the most unique guitar players in the world and other than that make sure you get the tabs and I will see you next time. Thanks for watching Killer Tapping Licks In The Style Of EVH.

Hey, everybody. How’s it going? This is Darrin Goodman with guitarcontrol.com bringing you this video lesson. Today I want to do a beginner tapping lesson in the style of Eddie Van Halen, so be sure to click on the link in the description for the tabs, and let’s get close up and take a look what we got going on here.

All right. So like I said, this is in the style of Eddie Van Halen. This is similar to what he does in part of Eruption. And what we’re doing here is we’re actually playing an arpeggio. We’re playing the notes of a chord separately. So the three notes that make up an E minor chord, for instance, are… We have E, G, and B. So what we’re going to do here is we’re going to play those notes separately, and we’re going to use tapping, and then we’re going to add some other notes into it.

All right, so we’re starting off among the fifth fret of the second string with my first finger, and then I use my fourth finger for this hammer on here, but you can use your third finger if that’s easier for you. Anyway, so you put your first finger on the second fret of the second string, and then with the finger you’re going to tap with on your picking hand, we’re going to tap at the 12th fret. So a lot of people, they’ll put their pick down, or put their pick in their mouth and use their index finger. I like to use my middle finger so that way I can keep a hold of the pick, because there’s lots of cool licks you can play where you pick and then you tap notes, so it’s just a habit for me to play it this way, and I recommend that this is how you do it.

So we’re going to start off, we’re going to just simply at the 12th fret you’re going to pluck the string to get the… So that way you’re fretting the note on the fifth fret, and getting basically the sequence started. So you pluck and then do a hammer on to the eighth fret, and like I said, I’m using my fourth finger. You could use your third finger, whatever is easier for you. And then tap with that… I’m using my middle finger on the 12th fret, so this is all the second string.

So, what we’re doing here is we are playing those three notes from an E minor chord. So it’s the first, flat third and fifth of the major scale, or the first, third and fifth note of the minor scale. And then you just simply repeat this. So after you tap, and then you remove your third finger, and then you pluck the string again to get the sequence started over. Just like that.

Now, when you’re doing this technique, one thing that’s really important is that you don’t want to hear the other strings making a bunch of racket while you’re trying to do it. So if you’re just playing like this, you’re leaving the other strings kind of susceptible to making a bunch of noise. So what I’m doing here is that my first finger where I’m fretting this note on the fifth fret, the underside of my finger, the pad part here, is just lightly touching the first string, so that way it’s muted and doesn’t just start vibrating and making noise. And then with my picking hand, my right hand, I’m resting the palm of my hand on the lower strings that I’m not playing, so I’m just isolating just this second string. Just like that.

All right. So to get this, like I said, it’s similar to what Eddie is doing in Eruption is that this note that we’re tapping at the 12th fret is the fifth, because it’s like one, flat three, five. So then we’re going to move that note up a half step. So, now we’re going to go one, flat three, flat six. And you just do the same technique. So, we start off on the root position… Well, not really the root position for the E minor, for one, flat three, five. And now you move up a half step.

Now, on your left hand, your fretting hand, we’re going to move that shape up a whole step. So our first finger will go from the fifth to the seventh fret, and your fourth finger will go from the eighth to the 10th fret, and we continue to tap in the same place. And now we move that finger, the tapping finger up a whole step like that. So, so far we’ve got… Now we’re going to move this shape up on our fretting hand a whole step again, so now we’re at nine and 12, and still tapping 15, and then we’re going to move the tapped note up a whole step to the 17th fret. So you could keep moving that around, kind of however you want.

So first of all, especially if this is a completely new technique to you, you’re going to want to just practice this, just getting this down. And then to the 17th fret. Now, after you have that down, you can do variations on it. So maybe we could go… Move, the tapped note back and forth. Stuff like that. Now, you could also move the notes that you’re playing with your fretting hand, so we could move it… Stuff like that, and it’s a little bit more challenging to do that, and I just kind of thought of that right now, so I haven’t practiced it. Just stuff like that. There’s so many variations of things that you can do with this. It’s probably the easiest thing to get down that sounds cool. Whenever you tap something, people seem to dig it. It’s total ear candy.

All right. Well, I hope you enjoyed that and you got something out of it. If you liked this lesson, give me a thumbs up. Leave a comment down below if there’s something you’d like to see, either myself or one of the other instructors at guitarcontrol.com do in a future lesson. Anyhow, that’s all I’ve got for you today. So until next time.

Welcome to Guitar Control, it’s time for some tapping legs, I’m a huge Eddie Van Halen fan well I don’t think I’m exceptionally good at tapping stuff like the crazy sweep tapping stuff there are some really cool things you can add to your playing by just some very simple tapping ideas and we’re going to cover those today.

Show Tabs

Click on the Tabs button to follow chords and tabs.

Example number one this is pretty simple, but it’s one of those things I always love when I hear a guitar player do this it’s all from Eddie Van Halen, we’re going to go like this this, 5/7 on the A, 5 set on the D and I go five around the G, I bend 7 on the G up and I’m tapping 12 and I go five slide.

So simple but I just love the way that sounds is that very cool kind of vocal quality to it so that’s the first, nothing too flashy but it’s just one of those little like you add.

For the next one we’re going out of A minor pentatonic and essentially what’s happening here is we’re playing two pentatonic boxes at the same time, so I’m starting right here I’m tapping box two on the higher side of it and then I’m playing with my left hand box one is a good way to kind of look at it so I’m going to go so what I’m doing is I’m tapping 10 on the high E-string, I pull off two five a hammer-on to that 8th on the high E do the same thing on the B, 10, 5, 8, then I go to 9, 5, 7, so there’s how that one’s kind of going I like the flow of that you know and once you get that concept you can expand it and you tap further out maybe don’t do box to maybe do box three you know get some cool sounds out of those.

Now the next one we are just going to be descending a scale we’re going to use our E minor pentatonic scale and I’m just simply be playing one section note. So I tap 20 on the high string and I go to 15 I’m here on 17 tap 20 and I pull off to 17, 15 then shift down. I’m going to go 17, 12, 15, then I go to 15, 10, 12, and I go 12, 2, 7, 8, 12, that’s right 10, 12, 7, 10, 12, 10, now we’re going to take another page out of Eddie Van Halen’s book.

We’re going to be like this in a couple different situations like in eruption it really got him solo and I just love it it’s such a cool thing to throw when you’re playing it’s totally Eddie, on but I’m just going to go like this in taps, I’m doing the B-string pull off the 5, 15 should I pull off to 12 and then hammer-on 17 or 15 well I’m all mixed up 17, 12, 15, you do it four times, keep tapping at 17 but you move this hand down a fret every four times there you have it.

There you have it guys, I hope you enjoyed those tapping licks. Like I said they’re more of like a beginner intermediate style of lick, I’m not super good at tapping stuff but I thought these were kind of cool to play with if you did enjoy those make sure you get the tabs and subscribe on our You Tube Channel and we’ll see you in our next video lessons, thanks for watching.
