Tapping Modes Pt. 2
Here we are again. We are about to embark on another tapping trip. Get your fingers warmed up and your mind as well. Once again, we are in the key of G major. This is yet another tapping pattern where we will be tapping the modes ascending the neck. One note: When tapping this pattern, as well as last month’s, be sure to tap with your ‘t1′ finger on your tapping hand and try to place your ‘t2′ finger on top of your ‘t1′ finger to strengthen your tapping attack. Also, this pattern emphasizes four note feel.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that you have to accent and keep this pattern flowing note for note. Please learn it slow and build up your speed gradually. I’ll see you next month! Thanks for dropping by.
