First in a series of 5 lessons on tapping, with varying levels of difficulty, starting with intermediate/advanced. This lesson will help you apply different tapping techniques into your playing. We will be looking at areas including crossing strings, string skipping, arpegiating chords, playing fast scales and eventually onto some multi-finger tapping examples.

A 2-part Chord Extensions lesson which builds on our previous basic chord groups. We will be adding on to the basic C group with 'extensions' to the basic chords.
