Hey guys and girls! I would just like to know what your tap styles are if any. I like to use my index, middle, and ring finger on both hands to tap. Tell me what you think of my style and tell me about your styles! Thank you for your time!

I don't tap much in the way that you are referring to tapping. I sometimes tap with my left hand to keep things going when we're in the middle of a song and I'm fixing a mic stand or adjusting volume with my right hand. However, I do play one song that's all tapping. I never really thought about my technique before and now that I think about it, it seems a bit odd. I use my index, ring finger and pinkie on my left hand, but never my middle finger. I never thought about it before, but now it seems odd to me. I only use my index finger on my right hand for tapping.
