shredmandan22nd August 2007Cool first lessom Juan ! Can you tell me what or why you have those white things wrapped around your neck on the 5th and 7th frets ?
Juan M. Valero22nd August 2007hehe, thanx for the first coment !!!
I use these thinks to mute the open strings, hehe... it's a good trick =)
Andrew Cockburn22nd August 2007Nice guitar Juan, and great firts lesson!
Muris Varajic22nd August 2007Awesome job Juan,great taps!!!
Pavel22nd August 2007Congrats on your first lesson! And very cool tapping!! 
Jeff22nd August 2007Excellent lesson Juan!! I have question related to the tab and the tapping. The tab has a tap on every note. Video 2 looks like there is a pull-off between the taps. Like a tap on 19 and pull off to 16 and 14? I'm not an expert on tabbing so when tabbing this is it supposed to be that way?
I love the part where you slide your ring up to play the high note. Very original! Nice guitar too man!
David Wallimann22nd August 2007Excellent first lesson!
Welcome!
Juan M. Valero22nd August 2007Thanx Andew, Muris, and Pavel, I'm very happy !! it was a hard work because I must learnt how to use the lesson editor but now I feel happy to share the lesson with all of you 
Juan M. Valero22nd August 2007Thanks Jeff !! yeah, there are a few mistakes in the notation, in fact the basic pattern is:
1. tap with right hand
2. pull of to the left hand
You must do a pull of with the right hand and "pinching" the string (or nipping the string, I don't know what is the correct translation...)
Jeff23rd August 2007Thanks Juan. This is quite a challange especially tapping with both 1st finger and 2nd. I'll work on this. Glad to have you here - your English is good! thanks for clearing up the tab for me too. Now I need to get a ring for my first finger!
Robin22nd August 2007Crazy 
Juan M. Valero23rd August 2007
Are you sure ?? 
dk222nd August 2007damn i got to get a ring:)
GuitarDude22nd August 2007awesome lesson welcome to Gmc! 
fire22nd August 2007Great lesson

Would be great!!
Nick32523rd August 2007Juan agradable de lección. where can u get those string muters u use. and wat do u use for that wierd harmonic at the end?
Victafor23rd August 2007incredible! i must practice ths
Jerry Arcidiacono22nd August 2007I like your tapping.

Ryan23rd August 2007Wow dude that was great
GroovinMastiff23rd August 2007¡Bienvenido a GMC Juan!
Me gusta mucho su "tapping".
I hope you enjoy your stay here
Roo22nd August 2007Pretty intense, I like it!
Juan M. Valero22nd August 2007Thanx to all for your nice coments !!!
Nick325, those are my trincks:
1. To mute the strings I use two "hear-elastics" (mmm I don't know what's the translation to english).
2. To do the last note I use a ring, hehe, it's a trick that I copy to IA Eklundh, you can use your ring like it was a slide =)
Fire: the notes of the piano are wrote in the guitarpro tab, but if you want I can send you a jpg archieve with the score
Eat-Sleep-andJam: XD, great coment, I'm a pharmacist (that's true, I promise !!) so I recomend you to buy some drugs !!!
Thanx for your words
The Uncreator23rd August 2007Excellent stuff, great tune and awesome soloing!
Eat-Sleep-andJam23rd August 2007Juan Im trying this and my fingers physically dont tap that fast with the double tap thing in video 3. The other tapping licks arent bad, but the postioning of that one is just odd and hard to get up to speed, any suggestions or excercises I could do to get that up to speed ? And what ever your taking, give me some
- John
Eat-Sleep-andJam23rd August 2007Woops its video 2 not 3 my mistake.
GuitarDude23rd August 2007you have a really cool execise video on your myspace site can you please post the tab for it couse the link is broken
Nick32523rd August 2007your the new EVH lol (tapping)
Juan M. Valero23rd August 2007Eat-Sleep-andJam: Oh, you have problems with the double tap... mmm... Try to practice this simple patern: (in every string)
(t14)-12-(t14)-12=(t14)-10-(t14)-10 and repeat
and then go up and down in the scale (D Major for example...)
GuitarDude: yeah, thank you for visit myspace !! mmm the link is really broken and I don't know where I put the tab 
If I find it I give you the link, ok?
Capn' Jef23rd August 2007That was really a really stylistic tapping lick - which is hard to pull off these days.
Definitely spending some time with this one.
Juan M. Valero23rd August 2007Thanks Capn' Jef, I try to upload more stylistic tappings
Thanks for your coment
lefthandman23rd August 2007hello rest of the night and great lesson Juan definently somethin 2 work on 2nite
lefthandman23rd August 2007srry bout the redundency
Eat-Sleep-andJam23rd August 2007How does that excercise apply to the tapping with two different fingers in the first video ?
-John
krimzen23rd August 2007i there there is a JEM cult movement goin on...
Mark Schiewe23rd August 2007Hey Juan, another Jem user on our fair site! Glad to have ya in the club. Jem555 i take it?
ezravdb23rd August 2007Awesome stuff!
Juan M. Valero23rd August 2007Eat-Sleep-andJam: in the video I use fingers 2 and 3 to tap in the frets because I don't drop the pick, but you can also tap with fingers 1 and 2.
(I cannot drop the pick because there was a riff with alternate picking before and I don't have time enough to put the pick in my mounth or wherever)
Eat-Sleep-andJam24th August 2007No Juan I just wanted to know if there was any excercises that applied to the tapping with the 2 and 3rd fingers
-John
rakemitri24th August 2007Excelente lección!! Aunque creo q todavía me queda "un poco" para poder hacer tapping con dos dedos xD
Great job!
Juan M. Valero24th August 2007Eat-Sleep-andJam: mmm well, I do the tipical scale exercices (up and down the scale) but with the right hand hehe, it's a bit difficult but I like
Wait for my next lesson, one of my songs arraged for poliphonic tapping !!
Rakemitri: Que bueno leer unas lineas en castellano por aquí, jeje, es un alivio no tener que buscar en el diccionario las palabras que no sé, jejeje... Ánimo con ese tapping, que poco a poco verás como va saliendo !! ya prepararé unos ejercicios para la iniciación al tapping con 2, 3 y hasta 4 dedos (y porque no tengo más !!!) XD
Un placer Rakemitri !!!
Eat-Sleep-andJam24th August 2007Ha ha alright Juan
- John
Juan M. Valero24th August 2007Don't worry I will do more tapping lessons using 2 fingers tapping. Next one is one of my songs, but in the 3rd lesson I try to do some cool tapping exercices

Nick32530th August 2007where did u get those "hair-elastics"??
Nick32530th August 2007how come that the last frets are the tree of life?
Juan M. Valero29th August 2007Nick325: I don't know what's the real name, so I called them 'Hair Elastics'... I bought it in a druggist shop. It's the tipical thing that women use to hold their hair
