About Learn Tapping for Guitar

Learn the amazing technique that is used by guitarists such as Eddie Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne's Randy Rhoads and Metallica's Kirk Hammett.

Each lick is shown in guitar tab with rhythmic notation and includes audio played both fast and slow. Each lesson can be marked as complete so you can track your progress and quickly see which lessons you haven't finished.

Tapping techniques covered in the lessons include speed arpeggio and scale runs, 6 string tapping licks, tap slides, tap bends, tap trills and tapped harmonics.

The guitar licks in this app would be perfect for solos in hard rock, metal, shred and other heavy genres of guitar music.

This app is designed for intermediate to advanced guitarists and is not suitable for total beginners. It is recommended that you understand the basics of lead guitar playing including bends, hammer ons and pull offs before attempting these lessons.
