I love how easy basic tapping is. I'm a pianist, not a guitarist, but I can pick up an electric and sound like a shredding rock star with almost no effort thanks to tapping. If only sweep picking were just as effortless...
I'm learning sweep picking right now. The way to make it fast and seemingly effortless is to take a lick, maybe a 5 string one, and start practicing it with a 100 bpm metronome. The next day practice again but at 101, then 102 and so on. After 100 days you'll be surprised of how fast you can play, and the learning process is actually effortless to the player, once he/she learns the right technique. Try it, and i'll swear you'll become fast af
My guitar arrives next Friday! I lost my wife 10 years ago and still write her love letters.Learning to play will be another form of expressing our love/bond.I just want to sit and express.Will be starting lessons like this! Mahalo nui
Thank you so much! I wanted to learn how to finger tap bc I’ve been trying to learn the solo to “Beat It” and wanted to play it in memory of Eddie Van Halen. RIP Eddie 💔🎸
@@Tommy-uh6co but its so fun to do. I'll be honest I came here for Hot For Teacher, ended up playing One. But without Eddie making it popular Kirk probably wouldn't have had the tapping section in the solo
@@rhugh02 We mere mortals all suck at it. Search Mean Streets live...you may never pick up a guitar again! Nah, we all do, just we realize who is boss!
the dog at 3.00 - reacting to "OK, now you know the basic mindset behind creating finger tapping licks" was like us leaving class when the bell rang and teacher was still talking. I stayed till the end though. Great lesson, thanks Robert
Well this literally was the only thing i needed sooo thank to this channel i play the tap solo ive already known to play but not the thecnique to use on
No! No bending, just pull off. Adding vibrato will help with sustain.... No bending, but you do want to pull your finger slightly to the side when you pull it off, so that you're catching (grabbing with) the callus of your finger, then snapping it off. That helps with the volume. But not bending.
@@Elden_Vods I’m so glad I could help out a fellow guitarist. Ever since my comment 2 years ago I’ve learned multiple Van Halen licks and also figured out tap harmonics!! Keep rocking on dude, practice makes perfect!
Thats pretty neat putting the minor pentatonic on one string, i never thought of that before and was just kinda tapping where it sounded right. But now i can put a little bit of logic into this and hit what I want instead of randomly. Thanks for clearing this up a bit and giving me something to tinker with for the night.
I went from playing acoustic over 10yrs to electric literally over night. Got bored of Blues and shtttt.... I got this. I taught that this was hard. LoL, i got it right away, i sound exactly like you. Only a bit fatter bc of the Centaur and 13 gauge strings on my RG... Thanks man, now i know how to tapppppp :) I will be ready for tour in a month now. This was the last thing i had to learn. (i got into DragonForce like band.).
Nice explanation! One thing that helped me a ton is just learning the scale you want to use and then learn the second form of the same scale. Kinda the same concept but it goes across all six strings.
Really good lesson. I'm going to subscribe and see what else you have. I appreciate that you referenced what scale and position. It's frustrating when people give lessons and don't tell you any of the technical information. I could go on and on, but like you I won't ramble either. Keep it coming.
Thanks so much Nomsita! I really appreciate the positive feedback, I'll be sure to keep the lessons coming both here and via Patreon.com/Swiftlessons. Be well! -Rob
Nice at least i can tap, i am getting better with double steps and legato even if i don't have a teacher yet, these videos and some apps are helping me with my skills
Thanks so much for the tutorial, it really helped a lot. I nevered understanded how to do tapping really well and now with this video I understanded a lot better. THANKSSS

Thank you so much! I wanted to learn how to finger tap bc I’ve been trying to learn the solo to “Beat It” and wanted to play it in memory of Eddie Van Halen. RIP Eddie 💔🎸
hows that going,have you learned yet cause im learning that solo as well
Wow, I'm actually here mostly for the same reason LOL..yes long live EVH
That solo is literally the reason I came to this video lmfao
Exact same reason for me, no clue how long it will take me tho, could take months even tho the majority is finger tapping
Ahh!! Yeah same I'm here to learn tapping because of that song aswell.
03:39 - Soundtrack for an ambulance
Sanjay 116 Lmao
It’s the ambulance trick. Very popular amongst paramedics.
Or a door at a convenience store
Good tab 11/10 Ultimate Guitar
I like tapping super fast when it sounds like space aliens from a video game. I call that "Nintendo" tapping.
3:39 you should play that in a car to clear your lane

He : "VeRy EaSy"
Doggo : "Time to go"
Edit : woah, thanks a lot guys !
Lol
EXACTLY, HAHAHA
Perfect timing
He
Lol
Anyone else here to learn how to tap so we can play Van Halen in honor of the legend himself
Bingo, Eddie made it look so damn easy.
@@Tommy-uh6co but its so fun to do. I'll be honest I came here for Hot For Teacher, ended up playing One. But without Eddie making it popular Kirk probably wouldn't have had the tapping section in the solo
NGL, yes
Yep, always looks easy but I suck at it.. I’ll just keep working it. 🤟

Great lesson, thanks Robert
He has that very small surfer dude accent and I can’t focus on this lesson
*chahahahahaha*
I hate to say it, but you're right. It's a really shitty sounding accent.
It’s almost an American trying to do Australian accent.
It reminds me of me trying to do an american accent while having a natural Irish accent
Kanye West ok Kurt.
dude you just opened my eyes, I always wondered how to even tap.
4:02 *Ah yes.. the 7-Eleven door bell* 👁👄👁
thanks cause you actually explained and showed how it works
As a teacher, I found your video very well done. Keep them coming!
Well this literally was the only thing i needed sooo thank to this channel i play the tap solo ive already known to play but not the thecnique to use on
thank you so much... i have been playing for 60 years and never tried this and would like to add a few tap licks to my arsenal just in case
This is by far the best tapping tutorial for beginners that I’ve watched. This helped me a lot! Thanks
I had no idea pull offs were actually bending the string while you release it. Thank you so much for this video my taps sound a lot better 👍
They are not it’s just that he adds vibrato to it
No!
No bending, just pull off.
Adding vibrato will help with sustain....
No bending, but you do want to pull your finger slightly to the side when you pull it off, so that you're catching (grabbing with) the callus of your finger, then snapping it off. That helps with the volume.
But not bending.
@@jeffro. yeah that’s what I meant my bad, I meant flicking the string like that
My brother in Christ you have just saved me so much frustration, you have no idea how much you just helped my jakey bro.
@@Elden_Vods I’m so glad I could help out a fellow guitarist. Ever since my comment 2 years ago I’ve learned multiple Van Halen licks and also figured out tap harmonics!! Keep rocking on dude, practice makes perfect!
Great explanation! You make it seem easy. I'm also glad you mentioned about how to cut out unwanted noise, as I haven't heard that before.
Lmao the ad for this video was an online guitar lesson thingy - claiming yt guitar lessons are terrible. Awesome lesson!

I love how finger tapping sounds so cool in metal/rock music and yet it's so simple to do....
Only person that was able to describe this well. Thank you very much
Love the way he pronounces "Thecnique" ahhahaa everytime i be like "do that again man" and watch that sec again
Who here is learning on acoustic so we can use this skill later on our electrics
yu
Such a big thank you, I was stuck in a rut, finally something new to try

Ahhhhh...
The mystery explained in plain English and demonstrated in the simplest terms.
Thank you!!!
I am rolling.
I went from playing acoustic over 10yrs to electric literally over night. Got bored of Blues and shtttt.... I got this. I taught that this was hard. LoL, i got it right away, i sound exactly like you. Only a bit fatter bc of the Centaur and 13 gauge strings on my RG... Thanks man, now i know how to tapppppp :) I will be ready for tour in a month now. This was the last thing i had to learn. (i got into DragonForce like band.).
Nice to have someone explain and teach techniques in a way most of us can understand. Wish I could understand scales though!!
Dude that was an awesome lesson, all the other TH-camrs I watched couldn't quite teach it to me
Love this lesson! Greetings from Singapore!
I'm not a guitarist, I just wondered how that thing works, that sounds so cool. Doesn't seem very hard, but sounds impressive.
Nobody:
Ambulances at 3AM: 3:39
ok, lets play eruption.
Taught me a new scale in under a minute. I'd say that's pretty swift lol
Nice explanation! One thing that helped me a ton is just learning the scale you want to use and then learn the second form of the same scale. Kinda the same concept but it goes across all six strings.
thank you so much for the help may God bless you and your family
I tapped the like button! Great video!

"Neutes"
THank you mr Swift. I learned a lot in this video.
Wow! This finger tapping really gets my foot tapping!
Is that a joke? I don’t get it.
bruh, the dog was so fed up.. he was like ''oh shit he's doing this again..''
how do you make it louder. it sounds weak for me unless i turn the volume knob all the way up
use a compressor
Thank you so much!!!! I can’t wait to make some new solos!!!!
Wow nice tapping i have learn very quickly.

Thanks a lot, this is helpful 🎸🔥💯

I only just got back into guitar only thing i know rn are the cowboy chords but for some reason my first instinct it to try and learn a polyphia song.
