Two-hand tapping recording on my website

[SiliconElle]

On my website, I have a recording of myself doing some two-hand tapping. It is titled as Bass Tapping Improv. It is also on my Soundclick website. Keep in mind that I am somewhat new to two-hand tapping and that I am not the best studio musician. Tell me what you think! Any complements or criticism will be greatly appreciated!

I liked it, you got a pretty neat sound too.
How hard is it to learn two-hand tapping, how long have you played? =)

Thank you so much for the feedback! I have been playing for about 3 1/2 years. I just started two-hand tapping 3 months ago, but it seems like yesterday. It is hard at first, but I didn't find it that hard after practicing. I got some tips from the Victor Wooten: Live At Bass Day '98 DVD! I used my Dean Edge 4-string bass on this recording and used the "bright bass" setting on Garage Band, which I used to record, and recorded myself doing some tapping. I probably should have used a compressor though. I recommend learning the technique. It is FUN!!

I'll check into that, sounds like so much fun and could bring a new way of making songs and solos with it
Actually I dont think you need to do anything more to your sound, maybe boost the bass a little bit but besides that, it's all good.

sounds good! good tone you've got there too, most tap songs have a really trebly bass tone, yours is bassy but defined.

oh, i recognize some of the stuff from a victor wooten exercise

Thank you! I used my Dean for this recording, and its strongpoints are slapping and tapping.

Yeah. One of the licks (I think it was one) were taken from a Victor Wooten exercise. I think that I changed one note of that lick. A majority of what you heard was composed or improvised by me though.
