Tapping Techniques Of Bass Guitar

May 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Some says its Emmet Chapman, others say its Eddy Van Halen, while remembered that its Jimmie Webster. The right answer, all of them are correct. Tapping is like the word touch style means any system of playing guitar or playing electric bass where you touch the string to the fret to sound the note, rather than plucking or strumming the strings.

“…Bass two handed tapping, or guitar tapping techniques, whether you are taking a lesson on bass tapping from a teacher or just trying your best to follow a step by step guide or technique from a book or a video…” Added Xaviera Arata  

The basic method is this: Turn up your amp, touch the string to a fret to sound the note, hold your finger there while it sustains, and then let go to end the music.

It is so easy. All you have to do is hold your guitar like you always do with your left hand and then hold a chord or play some notes. Your right hand will be supplementary up the neck, and at your left finger hits some note, you'll quickly use a right finger to play a note higher on the neck.  Whatever sounds good to you, but one simple way to think it through is just to play your diatonic or pentatonic scale or a given chord with your left hand, and with your right hand play that same diatonic or pentatonic scale but higher on the neck.  Next, this method is more like playing a bass and guitar at the same time, or (with the right instrument) it is more like playing the piano.  

Here you are not going to alternate two hands on the same string. Instead you'll play lower notes (like bass) or chords with your left hand near to the nut.  And with your right hand you'll play melodies or rhythmic chords on high strings, closer to the body.  If you're a bass player who wants to have two handed tapping electric bass lessons, or if you're seeking guitar tapping instructions, you'll discover two-handed bass playing techniques and a demonstration of two-hand tapping on guitar in this same touch style section.

“…Someday, if you mastered the two methods, you'll be well-known in guitar bass tapping technique as a rock band artist like Van Halen, Chapman and Webster…” Added Xaviera Arata
