   Hello GuitarMasterFriends! Welcome to another touch technique lesson. In this one I do some examples of how you can play a simple arpeggio with both hands tapping. It's basically 5 arpegios (E-G-D-C-B) all with the sus2 instead of the 3rd note, which gives this particular sound that I really love :D

You can use this exercice in lot of situations, for instance in some sweet introductions or in fast parts of a song.

This lesson is inspired by Joe Satriani's tapping (listen to "Day at the Beach", "Unforgotten part 1" or "Midnight"), but also by Loureiro's and Tafolla's.

Well that's all. The tempo is 150 bpm and I use a E minor scale.

Video 1: slow
Video 2: slow with weird angle :P
Video 3: part 1
Video 4: part 2
Video 5: part 3
Video 6: part 4

Have you tried doing this with a bit of gain on the amp, it would bring out the right hand notes a bit better.
Good playing though.
