Thanks for input Joe,we'll be waiting for this lesson!
Inertia,your issue is mostly related with routine which comes with lot of practicing. I haven't thought a lot about it when I was practicing tapping for the first time,I was just trying to find a way to keep it clean. And here's what I do know now. You mention anchoring tapping hand on the fretboard. Yes,that would be one way to do it but that limits you to only one or two strings to tap,usually higher strings cause you will anchor your tapping hand on lower strings. Second way is to be VERY careful with power you're using when you tap,too much power in tap will force some open strings to ring. Third way is to mute all unused strings as much as possible. And that is usually done with your left/fretting hand. Per example if you're playing some tapping on D string, you should use your left hand index finger to do 90% of muting. Just lay it easily on G,B and high E string,enough to mute them a little but not too hard to fret them. Also,tip of your index finger might touch A string as well do mute it. Forth and also very important way is to tap ONLY the string you wanna tap,avoid to touch strings around it. If your action of the strings is too high it might be difficult not to touch some neighbor stings so check your action as well! Finaly,combining all these 4 ways/methods you'll be able to play tapping nicely and without any noise. So my advice is to look deep into your tapping playing and locate what you're missing from these 4 ways/methods, then simply apply one of few of them and see the result. Hope this helps a little. -------------------- Youtube

My tapping sounds like running nails down a black board. Am I doing something wrong I can't get it to sound good at all. Is it best to use a pick or finger to tap with and how do you get it smooth and fast. I'm useless at everything. No one is useless,trust me. Could you provide me with a video clip of your tapping please? That way I might help more. Ohh, and go with the fingers 90%, use pick only when you need those ultra fast single note taps ala Satch. -------------------- Youtube

I can't do video. Only record sound. Would you be able to tell from just audio or not? Audio won't be of greatest help cause I cannot see what's going on there and what causes the result you're not satisfied with. -------------------- Youtube

I really need to sort out a video camera but I have zero funds currently Some cheaper one will do the job, we don't need extra quality for this. -------------------- Youtube

Hi Wrk.
I understand your issue in total, it's hardest to mute higher string when playing tapping on them. As you are guessing,you cannot do much muting with right hand,it's all in left hand. So you have to move/remove your fingers reeaally carefully to avoid noise etc. This "feel" comes with the time actually,you'll be able to control your movement and you'll always make a move just enough to release the finger but not to pull the string. Also,use you left hand index finger to covers as many strings as possible,when it's possible. Hope this helps a bit. -------------------- Youtube
