I´ve been looking on some guitarvid´s including Dahl-man and they always say you should tap downwards with the right hand. Thing is when I played guitar before I was in some areas selftaught so I am picking upwards. I´ve been testing tapping downwards tonight and it was a bit tricky in the begining but it shouldn´t take that much time bringing it up to speed. Right now I´m waaaaay faster with the up-tapping.
So my question is: Does it matter which way you tap? Does downward tapping hold any benefits unknown to me? Because right now it seems that it the same way of movement. Just oposite way. You attack the string in the same way, make the same sound. Easier to mute other strings? Easier for speed?
Give me your thoughts please
