tapping over multiple strings

Cool video except it would have been better to slow it way down and call out notes instead of fret markers. It was extremely hard to follow and hoped it would have been geared to beginning tappers . Just my opinion'
 
Maybe make a more melodic thing with it instead of just going fast.

Maybe plug tapping in a different setting

I really like that guy tapping uses which are melodic :

I actually think the first video is more melodic.
The guy in the one you mentioned, is a great player for that style of music, no doubt. But the tapping doesn't sound more melodic to me. Nice bass tho :p
 
I absolutely love that band. The thing is, the tapping hes doing is more on a single string at a time and just follows the scale hes in. The tapping im doing follows any major/ minor chords which i think many people will find usefull. I will post a video of my usong this tapping in a song context so you can get a better idea of its use in a less speedy situation
