Sit back, relax, and learn from Joel Hoekstra! If you wanna learn how to finger tap the right way, like an absolute champ, listen to Joel!! He's the master of multi-finger tapping! For tabs, check out: www.guitarworld.com/columns-ro...
Thanks for sharing these techniques! Truly one of my favorite teachers/players, and that you're willing to show the details at that level is super cool!!
this guy Is great but not even close to Batio ...they dont compare ...this guy is a great guitar player...batio is a master of the instrument and of music knowledge
Michael is a monster, great guy and we both came out of the Chicago area! No desire to compete. Hopefully something will be useful from either/both of us.
At the end? Yes it is awesome. I’m still trying to figure out. He’s bending the hell, more than I thought. Even if i figured it out, I still wouldn’t be able to play, only when the technique feels comfortable, within my grasp.
you're amazing on fingerboard! great attentions to the palm mute , could you say something about this for that guys that are confused about both ? haha
Joel is a great 🎸 teacher how he simply breaks it down in pieces!! Thank you ! My goal is to keep following your lead & duplicate every tap & nail all lessons 🎶🎸
Great technique! Ya know, you don't have to limit yourself to pentatonic here, have some fun and use this technique with other modes! The technique is awesome, great lesson.
First of all, thanks a lot for these videos. I've been following your channel for a couple of weeks now and it has made me want to see if I can finally learn the tapping technique from your tapping lessons. However, I've got a question for you: How do you mute the strings you're not using anymore after you've tapped them, on this exercise? I tried to follow it but as soon as I began to move on to the other 5 strings, things started to get a bit "noisy". How do you keep them from making any unwanted noise? Thanks in advance, and cheers from Chile.
any available fingers/parts of the hand. Sometimes in the studio or really loud on-stage I'll use a hair tie, which have become really popular these days.
For him, no.This is him with Night Ranger doing the 8 finger tapping solo on acoustic. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TfEvh3ujQ5g.html
David suzuki Reb tends to add a finger from his left hand, so the sound is more scalar. At least, that's how he did it back in the 80s with winger. He's probably added other techniques since then.
sympathetic vibrations are caused by playing an e,a,d ect.... note on another sting, the vibration causes the above E,a,d...string to ring out too. Its often phased out by palm muting every string above the live string on a down stroke, but ... on an up stroke the left index finger belly kinda does the trick, by using the face of your finger tip not the tip of the finger itself and letting the flesh touch (= mute) but not barre them. its not really said enough but when you start to learn, you KeeP TheM FingerS ARCHED ! is advice for clean chords perfect for a riff a shred or sweeps. forget it. ^^^ . just observations of an captivated student. good luck and hope the fun continually grows and usefull knowledge is shared.
Ugh, still don't quite get even the basic tapping. I lack details, like how hard am i supposed to press the string, how do i avoid other strings, and other such triffles. It really bugs me tho, tapping seems cool and i have a cyber-punk-y song idea that could use some tapping, yet my attempts seem to end up in frustration and failure. I either get unintelligible sound or terrible sound, i can't seem to trigger the string properly, and pulling off is difficult without triggering nearby strings in an unpleasant manor. Does anyone have any suggestions?
practice slowly. very slowly at first. a metronome helps you with establishing time. i never really used one when i was learning but i have in more recent years and really see the merit of having one. patience, relax and just keep practicing. it can be done with a light and precise touch. your pulloffs should flick the string to the side slightly to get them to ring out better. precision is what to focus on, the speed comes in time. some people are naturals(not me) others have to work harder for it but most can do this stuff if they want it bad enough. practice constantly and just relax. frustration can hinder progress. good luck dude
If someone can help me... Sorry My English. I have a problem with this technique. When I try to tap , the notes with My right hand don't sound good , they sound very low , and Bad . Is it the guitar gear ? Or What can i do for them sound louder and clear this lesson way.
To make more clear what I mean... I'd like yo play two hands ichika nito way.. but is not possible in My guitar :( ( i'm not talking about all the skills , i mean the sound of any single note )
Bryan Millan a few tips... For one, make sure you’re tapping correctly. Pulling down slightly as you let the string go. Make sure you’re muting the unused strings with your left hand if you’re using a distorted sound. Also, make sure the action (the distance between the strings and the fretboard) isn’t too high. All in all, if your right hand hammer ons and pull offs sound fine, your tapping should sound fine too, as long as you’re muting. If this doesn’t help and you still have lots of noise or something, let me know.
I can't palm-mute when multi-finger tapping... how to solve this? In standard tapping your right-hand mutes the strings by laying on them, here I simply don't have enough hands to tap and mute
