04 Percussive Tap Technique

Course: Intermediate Strumming

In this video

Adding percussive taps is a fantastic way to lift your strumming game. Here we do it in a relaxed acoustic style, which was popularised over the last 10 years by Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz among many others.

The best tutorials as an example of this rhythm is in Layla (acoustic) by Eric Clapton, see my tutorial here. More song tutorials to follow with this awesome technique!
