In this video, we'll be checking out some rock style two hand tapping on electric guitar.

Welcome to the first early access video exclusive to the new AAA membership! In this video, we'll be checking out some rock style two hand tapping on electric guitar.

Traces of Two hand tapping can be found in many old recordings and videos, but nobody did it quite like Van Halen. By all accounts from the time, his playing sounded like nothing else that had come before and was truly pioneering.

Two hand tapping can be a way to play very fast. As with many things, there is an easy way that beginners can try, and a harder way that even advanced players find challenging.

The video above is an exclusive preview from Andy's upcoming advanced Lead Guitar course called Lead Guitar 2 - coming soon!
