Hi Lyle!
While watching the Funk1 lesson I noticed you used your first finger for a tap riff. Just wondering if there is an advantage to that, or am I ok using my middle finger(so I dont have to jumble with my pick).

Thanks,
Bob

Eddie Van Halen uses his middle finger to tap. I like using my index finger. Either way works.

No, Eddie uses his index finger to tap. When he picks he holds the pick between his thumb and middle finger

Here's a Video of Eddie playing eruption. This is good for beginners because if you look closely you'll see how Eddie holds his pick while tapping.

Enjoy.
