Two Hand
Tapping
Lesson 4
Lyle: I thought I would teach you the opening
tapping section to one of my songs, which is titled Bach N
A.
The lesson sample is the opening tapping part.
Lyle: There are several sections to it. 4 or 5 to
be exact.
Lyle: The tapping riffs are made from major and
minor triads that match each chord that's being played.
Lyle: Here's the jam track for the 1st section
I'll call riff 1:
Lyle:
The chords for riff 1 are B - G - E:
Lyle:
The opening section, riff 1, is tapped out on the 2nd
string.
Lyle: So you'll need to find the triads/arpeggios
for the chords on the 2nd string.
Lyle: Here's the triad for the
B:
Lyle:
Those 3 notes make up the root, 3rd, and 5th degrees in the key of
B.
Lyle:
Here's a simple way to play the G:
Lyle:
Here's two chords I play for the E:
Lyle:
The chord progression is:
Lyle: B - G - Esus4 - E
Lyle:
Here's how it all fits together:
Lyle:
Try playing riff 1 with the jam track for riff 1. The video clip helps you see
and hear it being play at the right
tempo.
Lyle: Riff 2 switches to different chord: E to C
to A. Here's the jam track for riff 2:
Lyle:
Now you'll tap arpeggios out on the 1st string for riff
2:
Lyle:
Once you have those two riffs down, and can play them along with the jam tracks,
try playing riff 1 2x, then riff 2 2x, then repeat. Here's a jam track for riff
1 and 2.
Lyle:
Here's a video example of me playing riffs 1 and 2:
Lyle:
Any questions?
kitekrazy: Yes, I have problems keeping the other
strings quiet
Lyle: That's one of my problems too!
Lyle: You have to be delicate and try muting with
the palm of your tapping hand once in
awhile. I
just made a video example of muting....
Lyle: That's all for this lesson. I'll show you
the second half of this tapping solo next lesson.
