  Hey man, your lessons are great, I just saw your newest lesson, and did a search to see more. Turns out you are new here just like me, and only have 3. I can't wait to see more.
  
  This one reminds me of Nuno Bettencourt, tapping arpeggios. I've always wanted to learn a lick like this.
  
  Thanks
- midnight20th August 2008
  Love this lesson! I have never really worked on tapping too much before this. Been learning this for a day and can already see a huge improvement.
- Ian Bushell21st August 2008
  Thanks for the kind words:)
  
  I am glad the lesson is helping your tapping technique:)
  Let me know if you have any questions regarding the lesson.
- Fretburns21st October 2008
  fantastic!!! ive only just really started exploiting tapping,and this lesson is just awsome...i liked the two arps you wrote out seperatly,it made learning the 1st lick easier...lol...cant wait to learn it all when my brain can remember all of them...thanks...very inspiring
- Ian Bushell22nd October 2008
  Hay Fretburns!
  It's a pleasure glad it helped you out. Let me know if you have any questions.
  Keep rocking:)
- Fretburns23rd October 2008
  ive learnt all parts now,just need to string them together...then work on my speed for about 10yrs lol
- Fretburns23rd October 2008
  wow...im improving loads,because i can sweep those shapes,im starting to see them quicker in my head.....that speed is still like 10yrs away....sorry to keep posting,but im really loving this lesson...thanks
- Fretburns25th October 2008
  hi Ian,, how slowly did you have to practise this piece when you first learnt it,,and how long did it take to reach that blistering speed?
- Ian Bushell4th November 2008
  Hay Fretburns!
  It didn't take to long to get up to speed... but in fairness that kind of sequence is very comfortable for me to play in scales and arpeggios. Know all your shapes seperately, know where your hands are going and start slow...you'll get it;)

  No problem:) That is the trick knowing the shapes seperately. Otherwise you're left doing a bit of a hillbilly one eye going left while the other goes right!
  hahaha That is a trick all on it's own;)
- Fretburns5th November 2008
  ive just managed the 190 bpm today!! cant do it every time yet tho,,its that 1st bit that kills me everytime.....you need to be a hillbilly with your eyes goin both directions at same time
- DaniHel6th November 2008

- Fretburns18th November 2008
