Anyone have clips/vids/examples of how they apply tapping to their music?

There is a tapping section at 7:15-9:08 in "Sky's on Fire". It starts out slow, but builds up a little towards the end before I hit the wah pedal. It's mainly just a part to accompany the guitar solo

Kind old, but whatever. The maple leaf rag.

Indeed. The Conklin is tuned F#-C now as well.

Man you're good. Tabs or sheet music, lol.
Seriously, you should post a YouTube lesson.

The song at the bottom is built around a simple tapping riff I came up with, I'm pretty happy my band liked it enough to turn it into a song.

If I decided to spend a lot of time doing to tapping thing, I would try to get the whole adam nitti thing down. His tune Broken, Part 1 is one of the most musical tapping compositions I've ever heard.

Here is a youtube video of some guy playing it. It's not Adam Nitti but the guy has the tune down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVOFtTi5Ox0

Here's a rough example of how I tap.

Check my sig.. all of my music has tapping in some way or another. Sometimes it's a flavour, sometimes the song is based entirely around it.

heres a lead of mine, I messed up a bunch but its the only halfway decent video I have of me tapping (it sounds way better with the rest of the band the actual song will be up on our myspace in a couple weeks)

Well, the sheet music is readily available - it's a really popular piano piece. I'm afraid I can't give a youtube lesson on how to play it, though, I haven't played it in more than a year, and I don't tap very often anymore.

Aw, you're a REALLY good tapper. I want to tap like you and then I'll be satisfied with my playing"(I said that too when I sucked at Double Thumping, I'm good at it now, but I'm still not satisfied with myself

)
Can you send the sheet music to my email? Just a quick question,though does this piece have to be on a 7 or 6 string?
