showing off your tapping skills

[corpsegrinder]

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.

Here`s the melody

With the feet

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.

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.

That's what I said. I'm still psyched he's talking to a kid like me.

 

[Erlend]

mmmh, I just copy\pasted ut out from a marimba part from a random section, kinda, but I`ll have a look at it later

Erlend, do you like Frank Zappa?

 

[Erlend]

I might have 120 something albums, so yeah, pretty much hehe

 

[tomas_almeida]

LOL

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

here´s what i like to do... Just playing the same runs i play with normal fingerstyle but with one hand...

(i recorded it few minutes ago, so it is pretty crappy, but i guess you can get the picture )

I'd rather show off to my bandmates by being a solid player
