Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.30,0:00:11.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi, how ya doing? It's Justin, I'm back,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.91,0:00:14.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and uh I had quite a few email requests
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.57,0:00:17.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for some finger tapping. So, I'm just
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.64,0:00:19.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to run through some really basic
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.11,0:00:20.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,finger tapping that might explain kinda
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.79,0:00:22.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the basic principle of it. It's kinda a
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.91,0:00:24.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,beginner level finger tapping, we're
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.99,0:00:27.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not going to go too mad today. But
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.66,0:00:29.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I might go on further if this proves
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.16,0:00:30.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,popular, I get on and do some harder
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.54,0:00:33.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ones. Um, so, the principle of finger
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.30,0:00:35.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tapping for those who aren't familiar
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.66,0:00:37.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with it, is using your right hand, uh,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.91,0:00:39.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to tap on the finger board to get
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.93,0:00:41.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a note out. Now you can do that if you
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.67,0:00:43.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just leave your fingers resting on the
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.83,0:00:45.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,guitar neck there and loose on the
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.45,0:00:48.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,strings; you'll find just by tapping
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.03,0:00:51.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with your finger here (notes being
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.51,0:00:53.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,played) you can get a note. But you
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.04,0:00:54.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have to hammer it down quite hard.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.18,0:00:55.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, really, think of the pressure as
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.77,0:00:57.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,being quite a hard downward motion.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.21,0:00:58.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, there's lots of different kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.91,0:01:00.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ways of finger tapping, lots of
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.26,0:01:01.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,different people do it different ways.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.50,0:01:03.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm going to show you the way I do it
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.06,0:01:04.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that doesn't mean any other way
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.44,0:01:07.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is right or wrong. Um, the two kind
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.25,0:01:09.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of main ways, the two options, is using
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.08,0:01:11.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your first finger in which case, you can
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.12,0:01:13.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kinda grab the guitar neck with all of the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.26,0:01:14.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rest of your hand and leave your first
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.90,0:01:16.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,finger out to do the tapping like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.77,0:01:18.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(notes being played) I prefer a method
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.71,0:01:20.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I rest my whole arm on the guitar
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.49,0:01:22.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I use my second, so kinda my palm of
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.87,0:01:25.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my hand is muting all of the extra strings
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.32,0:01:27.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I use my second finger to tap. That
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.83,0:01:29.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,way, also, if I'm holding a pick. which I
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.68,0:01:31.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't have any pics here just now, but
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.43,0:01:33.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if I was holding like that I could also be
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.45,0:01:34.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,able to tap like that while still holding
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.95,0:01:36.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my plectrum, which I think is quite useful
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.85,0:01:39.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get in and out of tap and run without
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.96,0:01:41.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,having to hide your pick away and then
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.93,0:01:43.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tap with your first finger then put it
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.31,0:01:45.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,back. So, um, what we are going to do
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.31,0:01:46.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is we're gonna just look at a quick
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.43,0:01:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A minor pentatonic tapping riff. So,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.12,0:01:51.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we are going to be using is our
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.51,0:01:53.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,finger here on the fifth fret of the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.10,0:01:54.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thinner string on the note A
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.41,0:01:56.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then we are going to reach out with
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.01,0:01:57.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the third finger on the note C on the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.61,0:01:59.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,eighth fret, which is two notes from the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.35,0:02:00.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A minor pentatonic scale and the note
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.90,0:02:02.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are going to be tapping is going to
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.89,0:02:04.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be up here on the twelfth fret and like I
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.87,0:02:06.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,said I'm gonna use my second finger,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.51,0:02:08.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you might want to use your first.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.28,0:02:09.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um, so, we are going to be a technique
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.84,0:02:11.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to start off with where you, what's called
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.76,0:02:13.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lead with your tapping finger. Which means
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.96,0:02:15.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the tapped finger, or the tapped note
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.94,0:02:18.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the first note on each new string when
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.40,0:02:20.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you change strings. Um, to start off with,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.75,0:02:22.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're just gonna do it on the one string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.77,0:02:24.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what you're going start with is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.28,0:02:26.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tapping with the second finger on the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.50,0:02:28.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,twelfth fret, tap it, hit it down quite
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.57,0:02:30.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hard (sound of notes being played)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.97,0:02:33.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Get the note clear, your first finger is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.16,0:02:35.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,already down, so when you flick off that
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.08,0:02:37.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,second finger, (music notes played)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.84,0:02:41.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you flick it down and you've got that note
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.14,0:02:42.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with your first finger and then you'd
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.39,0:02:45.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hammer, with your third finger down. So,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.04,0:02:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you've got like a little triple. So you'd
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.00,0:02:50.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have tap, flick off, third finger hammer.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.84,0:02:58.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Tap, flick, hammer. Tap (notes replaying)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.95,0:03:00.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is really important you get that order
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.34,0:03:09.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right. (repeat notes played over and over,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.50,0:03:12.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,faster and faster) So, you can hear it can
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.59,0:03:13.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get quite quick. Now, it is definitely
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.70,0:03:15.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,worth practicing that really slowly and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.26,0:03:16.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,getting it right. There are other tapping
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.62,0:03:18.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,techniques you can do, like going from the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.53,0:03:20.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tap, flicking off from the third finger
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.33,0:03:23.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then down to flicking that off to the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.77,0:03:28.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,first. (notes being played) But I'd
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.91,0:03:30.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recommend that to start off with, you do
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.70,0:03:33.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the tap (example sound) flick off with
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.29,0:03:35.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your first finger (example sound) and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.41,0:03:38.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then hammer with your third. (example)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.87,0:03:40.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Again, just start like this really nice
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.100,0:03:43.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and slow (example sounds) and then
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.22,0:03:47.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gradually build up your speed. Now, if
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.82,0:03:49.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we move that over to the second string, um
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.99,0:03:52.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be technically correct within the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.53,0:03:54.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pentatonic scale, we should move the tap
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.67,0:03:56.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the thirteenth fret, but it actually
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.44,0:03:58.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sounds really cool if you leave it on the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.04,0:04:00.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,twelfth fret, it becomes the ninth or the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.63,0:04:02.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,note B in the key of A and it sounds kinda
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.22,0:04:04.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hip. So the next thing that I think that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.62,0:04:06.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is worth practice, is practicing doing
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.51,0:04:09.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,four taps on the first string, on the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.11,0:04:10.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thinner string and then moving it over and
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.97,0:04:13.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,doing four taps on the B string, so you
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.04,0:04:15.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,end up making sure you lead with the tap.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.42,0:04:20.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we have here (example tap) one, two,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.24,0:04:26.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,three, four. Now tap on the B string.....
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.12,0:04:32.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,three, four. Thinner string again.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.96,0:04:51.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(examples increasing in speed)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.03,0:04:52.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, so you can hear it kinda works out
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.88,0:04:54.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pretty good, even though it is quite a
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.21,0:04:56.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,straightforward link. It is not particularly
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.31,0:04:58.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hard. Um, if you want to move it over
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.50,0:05:02.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,another string, then a, we have first
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.12,0:05:04.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,string, second string, now we are going
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.01,0:05:08.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to move it to a third string, we are still
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.74,0:05:11.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to tap the twelfth fret, but then
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.08,0:05:12.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are going to do first finger and the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.94,0:05:15.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,third finger is going to go into the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.80,0:05:18.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seventh fret, which is in keeping with
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.41,0:05:20.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the pentatonic scale. You can keep it on
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.18,0:05:21.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the eighth fret and use the blue note,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.90,0:05:23.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or the blue tone for the pentatonic, but
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.96,0:05:25.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it kinda sounds cooler back at the seventh
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.48,0:05:27.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fret. So in this case if we are doing four
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.41,0:05:28.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on each one again and going back up we'd
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.80,0:05:31.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have this (example playing, increasing in
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.65,0:05:44.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,speed as he continues to play) So, here
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.12,0:05:46.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we go, the exercise in full. So we start
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.62,0:05:52.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the tap, flick.......
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.11,0:06:05.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(example played slowly then
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.70,0:06:29.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,increasing in speed)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.01,0:06:30.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's it, that is kinda of basic, very
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.68,0:06:33.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very basic finger tapping technique. Um,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.47,0:06:35.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one of the things that you wanna try and
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.39,0:06:36.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,work out is how to start and finish your
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.84,0:06:39.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tapping as well. Like I said, if you are
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.09,0:06:44.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,playing a solo (example) you can see now
Dialogue: 0,0:06:44.91,0:06:48.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've used a little bend there (example)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.58,0:06:50.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to let myself get into position, then I'd
Dialogue: 0,0:06:50.64,0:06:55.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,start tapping (example) and using a little
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.44,0:06:58.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bend at the end or something like that in
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.04,0:07:00.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,order to get my hand back to be able to
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.09,0:07:02.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,play again, cause it kinda sounds some-
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.07,0:07:03.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,times a bit dodgy if you just playing a
Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.78,0:07:05.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,solo, stop, finger tap, and then stop
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.48,0:07:07.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,again and start playing your regular song
Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.53,0:07:09.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll want to try to incorporate it in a
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.05,0:07:11.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little bit. It is one of the things it would
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.03,0:07:14.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,definitely be worth practicing. Um, so
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.84,0:07:16.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that would be a really basic technique to
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.50,0:07:18.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,try and get down. Uh, like I said I will
Dialogue: 0,0:07:18.27,0:07:20.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,come and do some more complicated ones
Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.69,0:07:22.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you'll all leave some nice comments for
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.44,0:07:24.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me on this YouTube page, and say "hey,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.71,0:07:27.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how bout some other stuff" and I'll jump
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.03,0:07:29.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in there, um I'll give you one more little
Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.60,0:07:30.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tidbit, just because this is a really cool
Dialogue: 0,0:07:30.90,0:07:32.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,quite simple trick that you might want to
Dialogue: 0,0:07:32.91,0:07:34.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,try. Um, whereas before, on the top string
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.96,0:07:36.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there we were playing the tap at the
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.81,0:07:39.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,twelfth fret (example) flick it off to the
Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.30,0:07:41.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,first finger, and then hammer with the
Dialogue: 0,0:07:41.21,0:07:44.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,third....a really cool little trick is to
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.16,0:07:46.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tap in the same fret as your third finger
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.35,0:07:48.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if you move it down here we'd tap
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.57,0:07:51.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the eighth fret (example sound) then
Dialogue: 0,0:07:51.15,0:07:53.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,flick it off to the first finger, and then
Dialogue: 0,0:07:53.64,0:07:56.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hammer on the same fret with the
Dialogue: 0,0:07:56.36,0:07:58.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,third finger, and flick off, tap, flick,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:58.01,0:08:01.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hammer, flick (continuing example)
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.32,0:08:07.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can hear, you can get really really
Dialogue: 0,0:08:07.60,0:08:09.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really quick little tricks with that. So
Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.36,0:08:12.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it is quite a nice, easy, very very easy
Dialogue: 0,0:08:12.39,0:08:15.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,way of getting into your super fast finger
Dialogue: 0,0:08:15.13,0:08:17.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tapping licks. So, um, hopefully you found
Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.68,0:08:20.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that useful and interesting, have fun, uh
