David Wallimann19th November 2007I'm not very familiar with pods..
But a noise gate or noise supressor can be useful.. I also like to add a little delay to make the taps seem even faster... :-)Sorry for the double post. Any advice on effects/amp settings to get the most of the tapping? I use a pod xt by the way.

great job!! Can you do a lessons of same schemata with multi finger tapping? would be amazing!!
- ThatGuy1st August 2007
Ah... I got this one DOWN in less then 15 minutes.
Of course. There was that one week. When all I worked on was tapping with all four of my fingers.... I still haven't gotten that one down. You should (if you can) do a lesson with that. Or at least. Someone should.

- My notes
There is nothing more satisfying than to play a nice long tapping lick...
This track is all built on that technique. No guitar picks needed!
The song is constructed over an A natural minor chord progression.
All the licks are fairly easy to remember and can be used in a vast variety of styles.
Hope you enjoy!
