leftybassman392 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) As it turns out there's a Wikipedia article that seems to cover the topic pretty well: [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapping"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapping[/url] While I'm here, I thought I'd post up something by one of my favourite players: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK91tuIQTVE"][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK91tuIQTVE[/media][/url] Edited December 14, 2016 by leftybassman392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentalextra Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 [quote name='Barking Spiders' timestamp='1481538250' post='3192967'] Certainly did know it wasn't EVH but I curse whoever did . Unfortunately tapping and sweep picking have led to the rise of soul less, mechanical fretw***ers across the globe.

Funky Dunky Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 [quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1481539926' post='3192986'] Ah yes. That would be this man then... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7T9fuf1bLE"][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7T9fuf1bLE[/media][/url] If I'm honest I'm not really a Gambale fan myself (although I don't have an issue with sweeping as such). As always though, it's not the technique so much as the way it's used. [/quote] Frank Gambale's sweeping technique has the least wasted motion I've seen. He really took that technique and made it clean (wee sweeping pun for y'all there). I saw Frank play at a music show once. I got in for nothing, but he had toupee.

Funky Dunky Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 As for EVH....can't really abide the man's lead playing, but I think as a rock rhythm guitar player he is pretty amazing. His rhythm parts are always really colourful, and superbly executed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peerless? Maybe, actually.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
