8 Finger Tapping Part 1

Hello GuitarMasterFriends!

This is the first chapter from this serie, and it's an introduction to 8 fingers tapping, so in this lesson you will start practicing tapping not only with one finger but also with 2 fingers and in next lesson with 3 and 4 fingers from your right hand.





ABOUT FINGERS:

In this particular lesson I use fingers 1 and 3 from my left hand and fingers 1 and 2 (index and heart) from my left hand so the basic pattern is something like this:



Left Hand 1 + 3   Right Hand 1 + 2



Then I use some combinations to create licks that you'll be able to use in your solo playing.





SCALE:

Although this is only a short pattern you can see that is a Major pattern, so you'll be able to play this pattern over the major chords. I use chromatic progreasion, in this case I start with an A major and then I move the pattern one fret to Bb Major, to B Major and finally to C Major.





TRICKS:

I use a hair-elastic to mute the string that I'm not playing, you can see it in the slow videos. About effects, just keep a good distortion and some compression but that's not necessary. About techniques, be careful to do the pull offs correctly, not only removing the finger but also pinching the string. 



See you on chapter number 2!
