A tapping etude to add some ideas to our vocabulary.

I chose one shape for major and one for minor arpeggios. The chords are typical 7, m6 and maj7, with few added notes with tapping hand. There's a sliding with tap finger as well...

This is an exercise to play a rock solo using bottleneck/slide in the normal tuning. You have to clean up the notes when playing in overdrive by using vertical scales.

Learn to slide like Joe Bonamassa, Muddy Waters and other slide guitarists!

Tapping is a difficult technique because every note must sound correct and at the same time, your concentration and speed must be very high!

Playing arpeggios with a tapping technique is a great way to create technical smooth licks.

This technique allows for wide intervals at high speeds.

Use the bottleneck to create solo melodies.

Here we take a look at the techniques needed for great slide guitar playing.
