Well, i finally figured out how to tap. I've been practicing tapping for about a month and i finally figured it out to today at my local music store. I was playing a V-shaped Peavey and something just clicked. i found my rythym, now all i have to do is gain speed :twisted:

Nice job man. Alternating between chords have recently been clicking for me. Funny how things just happen...just like *SNAP* That!
Congrats on the eureka moment. Onwards and upwards.
Strange it should happen in the guitar store. I normally go to pieces in stores when I'm trying stuff out. Had a play with a Gibson LP the other day in a local store and couldn't play for toffee. :oops: I quickly made my excuses and left.

I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.
It was them that turned me to drink.
I suck. wanna come over and show me? 8)
Well done. How about a few words of advice to those of us who don't know.
I think Nick wrote a very detailed lesson on this a few...months ago? or years.
Grats! That must be very exciting :D
Thanks for the kind words 8). Dogbite, i can't come over and show you but here's a good video of a guy explaining how to tap that helped me a lot:

Its an amazing feeling when something you have been practicing to death finally just clicks and you can do it.
It still seems strange to me when it happens, despite having had many of those moments so far! :lol:

Dude, thanks for the vid. Now I am going to have to go and learn how to tap.
Nice YouTube video.
