You know, I never really got into tapping. I can do it well enough it I want to use it, but Its just a technique that never turned me on for some reason. Probably the furthest I got into techniques was sweeping, I love me some sweeping :D

Definitely follow Schlegels tutorials. And once you understand the concept, well, practice practice practice!

I have been sweeping for 4-5 years, and I still could be better and cleaner at them, but I also dont practice them everyday either. One thing that can be difficult with sweeping is actually incorporating them in a song and in a creative manner.

I honestly could stand to develop my tapping more. I've done some two handed string skipping ideas with it.

Cool thread!

As far as sweeping this is the best:

Oh nice and timely links there on the sweeping. I just started sweeping a few weeks ago and have put many hours of practice in. It's quite a time consuming technique to learn. Hopefully these vids will help me refine this down more.

I was never a good sweeper. Just never pannd out for me even with consistent practice. It's a lot better than even a year ago. As far as tapping I use a thing I call Triad tapping as it outlines certain traids and gives you a more intervallic sound. I've also been working on the Greg Howe hammer tap concept which is liberating and frustrating all at the same time :)

Gotta keep taking whacks at it.

All the best,

Here are some advanced 9 finger tapping techniques you may find interesting. I am playing the Chapman Stick but I hope you can get a lot out of it. The link is a version of While my guitar gently weeps. I have lot's of free tapping lessons for Stick but parts of many can be used on guitar. These are not for profit videos here. I just want to share the techniques.

Extremely awesome Bob!

I've just started learning 4-note-per string scales with tapping. The only bit of tapping I've done really.

Thx Shahnen for the cool tapping ideas, I'm not that good with that technique, those idea are inspiring.

Bob, this video is awesome ! First time I see this kind of guitar too :)
