fast playing

i was just in the mood for a good descending harmonic minor run and was wondering if any of you know a good one or a diminshed arpeggio with taps lick

How about this one? It's from Malmsteen's "Far Beyond the Sun". Actually, I don't know if this is the exact run, but it what I play and it sounds pretty close to me. This is in F# Minor, and it's easily transposed.

|-13-14-13-10---------------------------------------|

|----------------------13-11-10---------------------|
|-------------------------------12-11-9-------------|
|---------------------------------------12-11-9-8~~-|
|---------------------------------------------------|


I can't alternate pick this very fast yet (I suck, but I'm practicing), but with legato I play this at around 200+ BPM at 16ths... it impresses people who don't play guitar :)

thanks for the info could yuo tell me what cd thats on?do you know any good diminshed arpeggios with taps?

Here you go. Just a simple one, but it's diminished and it's tapping. You can play this tab on any string.


-0-h3-h6-t9-t12-p9-p6-p3-p0--


h : hammer-on
p : pull-off
t : tap

You can either use your ring finger to tap the 12th fret or you can just slide up and back down from the 9th fret. Both sound really cool. Also, substitute the 9th fret with the 10th fret to get a half-diminished sequence.

"Far Beyond the Sun" by Yngwie Malmsteen is track #2 on "The Yngwie Malmsteen Collection" cd.

thanks guys i like the half diminshed taping its sounds nice
