- Aleksander Sukovic19th September 2008Man.. what kind of explorer is that? All i see is Ebony wood (I guess..) and EMG's.. and that WICKED fretboard inlay? Btw. "you appear to have a Dynamite sound
" (Blue oyster cult anyone? )That is KILLER!!!! Great arpeggios:)
What guitar is that?
Thanks!
It's a handmade replica of James Hetfield Explorer, made out of two kinds of mahogany, and a pao-ferro fingerboard. I had an EMG 81 in bridge position, but I replaced it with an cheap Ibanez Inf3, 'cause the battery was dead
The inf3 seems to work just fine ... And at the neck position it's a handmade pickup, I think.yikes!!!!! freaking epic! how did you get calluses on your right hand fingers?
Thanks man!
I got them from practicing.
Thanks everyone! I hope that this inspires you in any way.

- My notes
Hello GMC! This new lesson is again about tapping. It is an exercise that will not only help you to develop your 8-finger tapping skills, but it will also help you to better synchronize your hands.
It's a totally different way of playing arpeggios by tapping notes in sequence between right and left hand fingers. It uses both hammerings and pull-offs.
It is made out of 12 different arpeggios:
-Bm7;
-A#7M;
-Abm7;
-G7M;
-A7M;
-D7M;
-Bsus2/G;
-A#m6;
-A6;
-Abm6;
-A#7M9;
-A#m7M9.
Time signature is: 4/4;
Tempo is: 100 BMP;
Note durations are: 16th triplets.
The best advice I can give you on practicing this lesson is the well known one, and that is to first practice at slow, moderate rate and at the end at full speed. So, good luck!
Jump to start: Home or `s` , you can also click/tap the lesson part again (the numbers above player)
Go to next part: PageUP or End.
Volume: ArrowUp / ArrowDown keys
Go to any part: Number keys (combinations also possible)
Pause or play: `k` or space key
Fullscreen: `f`, esc to close
Increase / decrease speed : `+` or `-`
