  • This is a little part of the solo of Thabu's song Alma Errante (www.myspace.com/thabuspace).

    In this case, I apply arpeggios combining tapping with string skipping techniques. All the arpeggios have 7ths and the idea is to play it slow following the figure and paying attention to the executed notes so you can understand what you're playing. You have to work the legatos and the slides a lot, so there won’t be volume differences between the notes. A nice tip is to record your own versions, so you can correct the mistakes that are unprepared.

    Enjoy and have fun!!
