Multi finger tapping! That’s gotta be the one technique I get the most questions about! Here’s a pretty cool lick which you can use and adapt to your own style for days. Musically, it is really simple, just a Pentatonic shape using both hands. As usual, start as slow as you can play flawlessly and work it up to about 180 BPM! The tab is available right here at https://billhudsonofficial.com/TapThatShit.pdf. Have fun!
