Tapping Triads 1

In this lesson we're looking at Tapping Triads. This is where we use two-handed tapping to play triads on a single string. This is a great technique that's found a lot in neo-classical music, and it's a great way to play something that sounds exciting without too much effort.

Key points

• Mute the other strings with your picking hand (or using a string mute)

• Keep your fretting hand index finger planted on the string for each section

• Focus on the triplet timing and keep the notes even

How to make the most of this course

See below for the interactive TAB synced to video this exercise. Use this to help you master this lick and build up your speed. Useful features of the interactive TAB player include:

• Slow down the lick to see how it's played

• Loop a section to focus on that part before moving on to the next section

• Activate the 'fretboard visualisation', which shows which note is being played as well as which shapes are being used, all in real time

• See the TAB brought to life as the player syncs to the video in real time!
