Two Hand
Tapping
Lesson 5
Lyle: This lesson is a continuation from lesson
4.
FenderKid: Cool,
I wanted to find out how to play the next part, it's been killing
me!
Lyle:
The next part goes into a bigger chord progression:
Lyle: E - B - G - D - Am - Em - B -
C
Lyle:
Here's a jam track for riff 3:
FenderKid: wow that's much simpler than I thought it
would be
Lyle: So much of it is patterns, which can make
it easier.
Lyle:
The chord progression for riff 3 goes just like this:
Lyle: II:E B G D - Am Em B C - E B G D - Am Em
B.....C.....B.....C..... :II
Lyle: Notice the second time through he
progression you hang on the B and C
chords.
Lyle: I didn't TAB it out that way, just use your
ears when playing to the jam track. You can also watch the video for riff 3 to
get an idea how it goes.
FenderKid: yea that's going back and fourth between
11-4-8 and 12-5-9 right?
Lyle:
yes.
Lyle: The next riff has you using several fingers
on the right hand. I've made an exercise to help you:
FenderKid: just
use your right hand?
Lyle:
You pull off to your left hand 1 finger at a time.
Lyle: Here's riff 4. It follows the same chord
progression as riff 3, but slower. You don't change chords as
fast:
Lyle: chords
FenderKid: Nice,
that makes it even easier!
Lyle: The second half of riff 4 starts on the Am
chord:
FenderKid: ok
not so easy anymore
Lyle: I know. It's the B to C part that is hard
for me.
FenderKid: I hate the b chord with all my
heart
Barry: why
is the B to C harder? because it's switching on the same
string?
Lyle:
Yes.
Lyle: Here's a couple jam tracks for riff 4, the
first half and second half.
FenderKid: Is
it ok if I'm using my index finger to jump down those 3 strings while
tapping?
Lyle: That's harder, using just 1
finger.
FenderKid: ha-ha its funny because I cant even do that
with 3 fingers like you do it.
Lyle:
Here's a jam track for all 4 riffs. The 2 from last lesson and the two from this
lesson.
Lyle: When the jam track starts, let the rhythm
guitar play B - G - E B - G - E then when the bas and organ comes in is where
you start riff 1.
Lyle: I also made a video of all 4 riffs
together:
Lyle:
That's all the time I have here tonight.
Lyle: Next lesson I'll show you some fun tapping
riffs to mess around with.
