QUICK LICKS #34 Left Hand Tapping / Hammering INTRO:In this piece we are using ONLY OUR LEFT HAND to create all of the sound. This means you will need to use your finger power to create the strikes for all the notes. So put your guitar pick down, use your picking hand to mute all the strings as i'm doing in the video. You will use your fretting hand to strike every single note. If you lack finger power, this drill will show you where your weak spots are and give you a chance to fix them. Being able to play this lick will open up an entire range of abilities that you didn't know you even had. Once you get the hang of it, wads of licks that require left hand power will seem like child's play. It's well worth it to get a handle on this type of thing. It can elevate your playing in ways you never thought possible. *Make sure to watch the vid!. BACKGROUND / COMMENTS This is a stand alone drill/lick. It's meant to be played by itself as it's not really a scale. It's for working up your finger power on your fretting hand! 34.gp5 ( 1.84K ) Number of downloads: 120 BTW: Please let me know if you have any questions about this lick, send me a PM if you like or post here. I'm happy to help! This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jul 7 2018, 07:42 PM |

Hello Todd,
Here is take 1 for assessment/critique. I did a bit of a quick noodle at the end a bit quicker and not the exact exercise, to see if it gives you a better picture of weak spots along with the actual exercise. Cheers buddy. https://youtu.be/OBYBWK4egQ8 -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

You start off pretty strong! When you speed up it gets a bit sticky. I'd say try to split it up. Try to focus on the first 16 notes only. Thats about half of the lick. If you can get that, then it's just a bit more climb back up. The B string on the descent is just a repeating set of 3 notes so that's not to rough. It's starting on a hammer on that throws most folks. I gotta give you props for being first out of the gate!!!!!! Well done there

The bit where I speed up isn't actually the lesson buddy, I was just noodling
Another take coming soon, it seems that it just needs more time as you didn't point out a particular weak point. Cheers buddy You start off pretty strong! When you speed up it gets a bit sticky.

Cheers buddy Hi Phil I was just roaming around the forum and happened across this. Check the fretting of your little finger, it needs a bit more of a stretch some times it's coming down on the previous fret rather than right behind the correct fret. This is what is giving some of the notes that aren't as clear as they should be. -------------------- My SoundCloud

Thanks Todd and thanks P.Boy for taking the time to have a look and comment
Here's another go, Reaper had a glitch at about 00:43, it kinda froze and it did the same in-between the two noodles hence the gap in the sound, I had to split the sound file to sync it Got a blister on my little finger from this one https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/sore https://youtu.be/Qex9uWtBDoo -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

THAT'S IT!!!! You are getting the swing of this! You could use just a pinch more work on getting each note to sound individually, but that will come with time. What I wanted for this is to get you guys to use your fretting hand to make notes. Just that one skill can help in a tremendous way in terms of everything you play. Picking becomes a tone choice when you can make all the notes you want with your fretting hand.
Try to use this approach on other scales. Really, on any pattern of any kind, even chromatic shapes. It will help you to be able to rely less on your picking and if you miss a pick strike during a lick, it won't matter as you fretting hand is strong enough to make it happen! The fifth fret note on the High E is one of the toughest bits and you get it. Take this lesson to heart and repeat it often! You will just keep getting better and better. For now you've got it! You are ready to move on, you have ... LEVELED UP!!!!!! Thanks Todd and thanks P.Boy for taking the time to have a look and comment
