Tapping Concepts - An Outline
Added 2021-05-06 19:57:09 +0000 UTCHey everybody, here's a document that covers as many general tapping concepts / techniques as I can think of. In the 'Outline' document I go over 18 concepts, from basic ideas like tapping into open notes, to more advanced stuff like double stops, slides, and taps without pull-offs. I tried to keep the exercises relatively simple as it's more about the ideas than anything else.
Also, with all of these, a big part of making them more interesting is experimenting with how you can arrange them. So, when you learn these concepts, try to combine them into a single idea. Or, try change the notes, try moving the patterns across multiple strings, try a pull off instead of a hammer-on, etc.
Finally, I've also included a document on some triplet basics for tapping. This will expand on idea #3 in the 'Outline' document. I've included this as that triplet gesture is really nice for developing quick facility. The triplet document will also give you some ideas about how you can rework some of the ideas in the 'Outline' to make them more interesting.
Cheers,
Trevor

this is cool, thanks for making it trevor. i've never really gotten into tapping like this and it's helpful. one idea i'd like to respectfully suggest is including a key/legend for what certain notation elements refer to, for example the T with a circle around it. I'm assuming that means a left hand tap aka hammer on?
