A course that covers the fundamentals of two handed 'tapping' techniques on the bass. Tapping has become one of the signature sounds in contemporary solo bass playing, and has been used extensively by such players as Billy Sheehan, Victor Wooten, Michael Manring, and many others. Concepts covered include: hammer-ons, pull-offs, right and left hand independence, right and left hand synchronization, tapping chords, syncopation, and tapping chord progressions. Exercises are designed to first focus on each hand individually, and then progressively combine them. This is a great course to take if you are new to tapping or are interested in introducing a fresh technique into your playing.
