showing off your tapping skills

Sign in to disble this ad
has anyone got some two-hand tapping exercises that sound cool? something to show off to your bandmates like this:

Play Fast (160 - 180 BPM)
G| -----------------------|----------------------9--|
D| --------------------9--|-------------10h12t13---|
A| -----------10h12t13---|-----11h12t14------------|
E| ---11h12t14-----------|---13--------------------|
B| -13--------------------|-------------------------|
(ASCII doesn't line up here I see)

It seems that tapped arpeggios are becoming more popular, so if anyone has questions on the technique I use, feel free to ask. I in turn ask for tabs of your exercises with explanations of playing methods. Anyhting played in metal context would be great, but as long as it's tapping bring it on.

Way to go, I replied to my own thread!

Anyway, I would really like somebody to contribute some tabs for (dare I say?) rediculously difficult tapping lines that YOU the readers created.

SICK! Erlend Caspersen, you're still an active member here? NO WAY that's sick!



Anyways, back to topic: here's my current band's myspace page.
www.myspace.com/emortus
Listen to The Prophecy from 1:13- 1:35. Not especially difficult, but I tap that all when I play. I suppose I can get you some tabs if you'd like.
btw, that's the only song on the myspace player that I'm featured on. Eternal Darkness was recorded almost a year before I joined the band.

LOL

So you REALLY like Zappa! I would love to see you making some kind of death metal meets avant garde thing.
