Here's my first take Todd, I hit all of the strings at the end to show I wasn't using a Batten block to mute the strings

You start out very strong here!! I can hear all four notes. Once you head to the second position, I start hearing 3 notes. I think you may be going just a pinch fast. Make sure you can hear each strike and each pull off. Each one adds to it as it results in a four note sequence, strike then pull off, then strike and pull off. You can reduce the number of repeats to 4 per section to prevent arm fatigue. Only when playing at speed are 8 reps per position really needed. You are very close to nailing this one, give it one more!!

Thanks Todd,
Here's another try. I have an idea for the next one which will be a challenge. Maybe a picked lick going into tapping. The holding of the pick whilst tapping is an art itself, then maybe the next one could be a picked lick followed by tapping followed by a picked lick. Not telling you how to do it Sarge, just a suggestion. Cheers https://youtu.be/q5o9EvSwm48 -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thats it!!
 It sounds like some cool mod ideas for the tapping stuff! But don't wait on me, just take this lick for example and add a bit of a picking thing before it and or after it. You are at the stage where you can start putting licks together based on your existing bag of tricks. Think of it as a creativity workout. I may end up asking to use it in quicklicks! Put that video up in this same thread and I'll give you some tips/tricks!! It looks like you have gotten a handle on the basic technique, so it's time to play around and add some other bits to it and make it your own thing! Also, that way, I know that it will be something within your range of play as you will be the one writing it. No chance of me throwing a wacky curve ball and making something that was not what you were expecting and probably way to complex to be helpful. Im stoked to see what you come up with!!As for this one, you slowed down a bit which is a good thing as you need a bit of space to get in all four tones from this style of tapping at this point in your progress but this is tempory. As you practice this lick, you will find that you can reduce the amount of recovery time between strike/pull and as such, speed up the lick quite a bit. I"m playing it quite briskly in the demo to give you an idea of what it will sound like at speed. You are ready to start pushing this toward a faster approach I think. You've got the techique down so you have leveled this on up!!! It's time to make it a bit more aggressive and fast and try to keep all four tones audible while squeezing the time it takes to play one loop down to the minium possible. The tighter you play it, the faster it will sound. Feel free to post more takes later on in this same thread as you progress and get faster at this. I think you are ready to start pushing this one!! So you just .. LEVELED UP!!!  QUOTE (Phil66 @ Aug 19 2018, 04:08 PM) Thanks Todd,

Thanks Todd,
here is a little improv I did as you suggested. It's not shred, I can't do shred yet, it's just some little melody with tapping made up on the fly. I have to apologise, I left the camera mic sound in the video  https://youtu.be/UBpm3CYF3GM Advice always welcome.

Thats perfect!!! See how you combined the picking bits with the tapping bits? That's exactly what I was hoping for. I wanted it to be something that you could play so I'm glad that you wrote it. I didn't want to make something overly complex that didn't serve the purpose of getting your hands to do both picking and tapping. But yes!! That's exactly how to transition from one technique to the other. It doesn't have to be fast, just needs to be smooth. Some guys keep the pick and tap with the second finger so that the pick is still there and ready when they transition back. Some guys palm the pick and tap with the first finger. Either way is fine. Nicely done!!!

Thanks Todd,
I think a lot of the fear about doing it comes from knowing the fretboard enough to keep in key when tapping. I haven't worked out if the pentatonic box I used there suited the tapped part.

Thanks Todd,
I was thinking that those frets covered a few different keys, DOH  QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Aug 23 2018, 01:53 AM) You can get a lot of ground covered just with the High E. 12th Fret, 15th, 17th.
