Guitar is life!

Tapping

Tapping is a technique that is most commonly used on an electric guitar but could be used on any stringed instrument. It is often used in shred solos and in the neo-classical genre.

Technique

There are many ways of performing a tapping passage. The most common pattern for tapping is:

"Tap, pull off, pull off."

For example:

e|-t19p15p12-|
B|-----------|
G|-----------|
D|-----------|
A|-----------|
E|-----------|

There is another pattern that is commonly used:

"Tap, pull off, hammer on."

For example:

e|----------|
B|-t9p2h5---|
G|----------|
D|----------|
A|----------|
E|----------|

This pattern was popularised by Eddie Van Halen in the famous guitar instrumental "Eruption."
