Math Rock Tapping Technique: The Basics 

i was here to do that.

That's some respect. He must be good.

super appreciate it!

Too risky u never know...

Ok, its was sooooo fucking helpful!!! new subs... But beware! and i can get bored too easly

haha

no problem! glad to hear

glad to hear that!

Yo thank you for the nice words! That's a great idea for getting some minor key sounds. I can totally imagine it sounds great!

Your english is great man

Could've used a comma for readability (a nitpick), and you forgot a period at the end, but otherwise your English was fine.

@@ossiehalvorson7702 grammar isn’t really needed in a little message like this, I used grammar because I’m so used to it but it’s not really needed unless it’s like an email or something 😎

No problem!

Do it for yourself

I don't own an electric but I've heard transitioning from acoustic to electric is like going from college to kindergarten(in terms of technique). So it's actually really helpful to practice tapping or any sort of exercise on acoustic until you get an electric. Just some motivation for you lol

@@Aaron-or7bs I would say college to Middle school/High School according to my experience. Yes, I was inconsistent for years.

@@Aaron-or7bs I definitely regret not spending more time on my electric playing over the years! I'm 34 and feel like I'm learning a new instrument sometimes

Use your voice and go slowly, let your voice find the next note. If you are working within the context of more than one note at once, that context should put something into your brain

@@TrevorWongMusic cool! I'll try it out. Thanks for the reply

@@TrevorWongMusic this is such great advice. it's so often that i find myself noodling aimlessly trying to find what sounds good, and then i stop, listen to what i hear in my head and then just find that on the guitar!

break up/arpeggiate 7th and 9th chords, slide up by 2nds and 3rds, usually works for me

The main way to get rid of that ring is using your fretting hand to mute the bottom half of the string. Some people use a fretwrap if their fretting hand is too busy playing stuff, but when possible, try to mute with it! And just know that your pickups will not hear the bottom half of your strings, especially when you have a good muting technique. Most of the bother is only heard by you, not the audience. So you'll be okay ^_^

Hey I know this is a bit late, but you could really boost the sound of your tapped notes by using a compressor pedal. The compressor will essentially make your notes play at the same volume, regardless of how hard or soft you play the note. A lot of math rock artists get those really crisp, clean tapped notes and harmonics with the aid of the compressor pedal. Neural DSP creates amp simulators that you can run on your computer and they actually just released one with Tim Henson of Polyphia. With this amp sim, you'll have access to Tim's tones as well as a compressor pedal!

I would like to know that as well. Those overtones are so annoying 😭😭

Especially when it comes to recording.

id start with compression and sustain :)

Idk if it helps but I find the front pick up is sometimes better for clean tapping if your guitar has one.

Maybe in the future!

country boy i looove you

@@sequoia7128 do we know eachother?😸

@@manassehcohen379 sorry it’s a reference to a video 😅it sounded similar to your comment

@@manassehcohen379 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R2OtIXyZpSo.htmlsi=yXHj3ANHGyOjd4Lu

hey! I see nobody responded and sorry if this is overstepping but what's your budget?

@@bonechimney hello, $500 maximum.

@@fariabdullozoda7310 cool cool. So for an amp I recommend the 50 watt Boss Katana. You can usually find those on reverb for about $150. For the guitar your price range is pushing towards the Squier Affinity series, that'll push you all the way up to $500 after- I recommend watching demos on those guitars and then picking whichever one sounds best to you. You're mainly going to be looking at Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, and Jazzmaster. The kind of guitar in this video is a telecaster :)

@@bonechimney ah thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question.

@@fariabdullozoda7310 No problem at all! Guitar/Music in general is a great thing and I always support people wanting to pick it up :)

could do that in a future vid!

look up some mathrock playlists on RU-vid and Spotify and see what bands you like

Tricot! :)

Hella 😔

I don’t think it was disrespectful at all. Shred and math rock playing techniques are pretty similar.

11:48 too

ok man go to therapy or something if it bothers you. That is not related to the video

I miss your wife too.

Anchoring on guitar doesn't out any force on the anchor it's just to feel a distance out.
