Category: Two Hand Tapping
Title: Multistring Tapping Part I
Summary: Lick demonstrating multi-string tapping using the 1st and 3rd finger of the right hand. You can hear this lick at the end of my video entitled "Shredding on my Ibanez 7-string" at mp3.aspx. "

Description: The lick was included on a video I posted at jemsite and someone asked me how I played it. So as I promised, here is the lesson describing how to execute the lick at the end of the video called "Shredding on my Ibanez 7-string". The pattern is simple and repetitive and once the basic two-hand coordination is achieved, the run is really easy to execute. By moving the left-hand part of the pattern around and leaving the right-hand notes the same, you can get some interesting tonalities. Experiment with this idea a bit.
