Tauzin Tapping à la Basse

Tapping is a technique that involves playing notes with both hands
directly on the neck of the Bass Guitar. It was popularised by
virtuosos such as Adam Nitti, Stuart Hamm, Victor Wooten and Billy
Sheehan, but has become more and more popular with amateur players for
the unique and futuristic sounds it can produce. With Tapping A La
Basse, you can learn everything necessary to master this cool
technique.
In four chapters, this method will help you learn how to make strange
and wonderful sounds with two-handed tapping. The first chapter
details linear tapping, the second will teach you how to create great
riffs and licks with tapped arpeggios, the third lets you combine
tapping and chords, while the fourth and final chapter will reveal
polyphonic tapping. While some technical exercises are revealed, this
method is primarily based on practising, ensuring that you master all
the techniques through playing them.
The accompanying DVD is a great help in letting you hear and visualise
how the tapping should sound and be played. Two different speeds
enable you to see how it's done at normal speed, then slowed down so
you can play along and gradually get to grips with the style. With
technical and musical examples within this method, you will gain all
the details needed to grasp Bass Guitar tapping.
