hello! This is the 2nd part of the tapping lesson...here it is some exercice and some explanation to do the 2 handed tapping...: Here you have to play directly on the fretboard with both the hands,and you need to strenghten your hand...here you are some good ex.: G---7---7------------9---9------------Play this only with the D-----------7---7-------------9---9---left hand,do not use the left A-5---5------------7---7--------------one.... E---------5---5-------------7---7-----(use index and ring/pinkie) G----14----14-----16---------Here use only the right hand! D------------------------17--(use the index and the ring and hold A-12----12-----14------------your hand to the fretboard with the E---------------------15-----thumb) These are ex.just to train the hand that is important..remember to move both the hand up and down on the fretboard.............Now let's start: begin to play slow 'cuz it's important a good sound,this ex is a little bit harder than the first: l l r r l l r l l r r l l r r l l r r l l r G---------14-------14----------17-----------16----------14--------21--- D---7-----------7--14----9--14-------10--14-------7--14--------9--21--- A------12--------------7-----------7------------7------------7----19--- E-5-----------5--------------------------------------------------(24)-- 1 2 3 4 5 6 I divided this ex in 6 part to explane the fingering: 1-use index and ring of both the hands 2-use index and ring of left hand and play the chord with the index and the middle of the right hand 3-use index and ring of left hand and index and pinkie of the right hand 4-use index and pinkie of the left hand and index and ring of the right one 5-use the index and the middle of the left hand end the same 4 the left one 6-use the index and the ring of the right hand and play the chord with the ring the middle and the index..(in brackets there is a 24 that if you can you should hit that with your thumb...but it's relly hard) You can use as ex metropolis part 1 by dream theatre following the pattern: l l r r l r r l r G-----------14--------------------just play this starting by all the D----7----------7------12--7------note on your fretboard...(E-string) A-------12---------12---------12-- E-5------------------------------- Play chords with this method,it's really helpful, like this bossanova: l l r l l l r r l l r l l l r r G--------16----------16-16-|--------17----------17-17---and D--------16----------16-16-|-10-10--16--10-10-x-16-16---so A-10--10-----10-10-x-------|----------------------------on E--------------------------|---------------------------- G Maj C dim for the left hand use the index OR the middle(alternate),for the right (chords)use the index AND the middle..!! There are a lot of good artist to listen 4 this method,like Billy Sheean(mr.big-solo),Jhon Myung(Dream theatre),Las Claypol(Primus) Victor Wooten and son.....
