Hey all, i really like tapping when its bein used melodicly, kinds of like the way victor wooten taps, i no very basicly how to tap, i learned a little tune off the bass extremes with victor and steve baily and victor showed a tapping thing slowly, so i learnt it, but i'm looking to learn the unbreakable soundtrack 'mr glass', i just really like it lol, and since its an orchestra playing it i thought tapping would be the best way to transcribe it to bass, i got the start down but then realised it would help if i improved my tapping with some exercises to get better tone from my left and right hands etc, can anyone give me some fairly simple but challenging licks or tapping exercises for pretty much a begginer at tapping plz, I'd really apprisiate it

it goes to high for my bass aswell half way through, so if i'm gunna start tapping more i'm gunna have to get a bass with at least 2 more frets, bah
