Im veery interested in learning how to tap,but I need a directin really bad,I really have no clue where to start and what to play around with. Any help would be much appreciated.
Then, try http://www.basstabarchive.com/lessons/ there's a 12 part introduction to a lot of the basic tapping techniques: single string, chords, contrapuntal, etc. Have fun.
Folsum Prison Blues is what got me started. Our three-piece band does it every show now, and the guitarist can play fills and lead while I'm still holding-down the chords up high on the neck (uh.. two-note chords, that is - but don't tell anyone; they think I'm a genius...). It's extra-easy on a 5-string because your hands can stay close to each other through the whole song, but on a four you have to cross your arms pretty far. The audience seems to dig it.
as I posted in another thread *but not on tapping* a good place to get some books on tapping is bassbooks.com. They have a wide selection of books, and a few on tapping.
