Great Tapping Bassists?

Sign in to disble this ad
Anybody have any suggestions on great tapping bassists whose tunes (originals or arrangements) you'd like to see the transcriptions of?

Other modern techniques are cool, (i.e. harmonics, etc.), but I'm most interested in cool songs and arrangements.

Jean Baudin - any solo song by him...
John Myung - Metropolis Part 1
Stuart Hamm - Flow My Tears


Also, another great thing is taking classical pieces and turning them into 2 hand tapping...example, i did it with Canon in D.

I know he's a regular guitar player and not a bassist, but I suggest Stanley Jordan. His technique is out of this world.

rock on!

I'm not into the traditional tappers, but I'd like to see some of Arif Arif Mirabdolbaghi's stuff tabbed out. Recently I've been trying to transcribe his tapping part in Bloodmeat.


but not very hard...

Stu Hamm, mainly cos his stuff is deep and melodic unlike Sheehan's tapping use in a bass "solo" context

try them all out...though, personally i think the ibanez is amazing for tapping and beings that the preamp in it has a gain control, you can get a ton of growl!
