  Melodic tapping

This was pointed out to me by friends. This is the first example I have ever found of a speed player playing through chords rather than using a scale approach. Listen closely and you can hear how melodic it sounds compared to running scales. By playing through chords,I mean that he is playing the notes of chords and the notes around the chords rather than thinking scales. Very cool.

That guy has got some nice action on his guitar. I'll have to rob him someday

Seriously, though, I really dig that stuff. Thanks for the heads up.

It looks like he thumbpicks, too, just like me. Cool.

I got through the first 20 pages before the headache set in. I might have noodled with it if the bass string was E instead of B.

It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
