What are some good tapping guitar song, like Midnight by Joe Satriani, something like that but i dont know any else or where to find them.

I've been trying to tap on the guitar, and so far I've been doing decent (not perfect, but decent.) But when I play it it's usually soft and you can't really hear it. Help?
Oh, and how an I upload videos to YouTube. I plan on making a instrunmental.

i know how to play metallica "one", bullet for my valentine "waking the demon", and some other metallica songs. If you know of any songs with tapping in its solos, then please write them in your answer. Thanks.

Hi i'm a beginner at electric guitar and this question have bothered me for a long time. When do you use picking, and when do you use tapping? If you can tap and still sound like picking, why do you need to pick the guitar then? I don't hear any difference in sound when you pick and tap. What difference is there to pick the guitar and tap the guitar fretboard?

I know a few guitarist that are insanely good, but people don't listen to their music, because they "Guitar Tap" everything. It's very annoying because they are still extremly talented. By this I mean Christopher Arp. What a beast.

"I use a mute that is really nice for some of those tricky two handed tapping parts! Guys to check out that utilize these same techniques are Greg Howe -- not Greg Howerd -- Guthrie Govan, and Bumble Foot!

"To start this solo I wrote a theme or melody. This helped me to have something to tie everything together. It is nice to think of a melody before really digging into anything else. I took the progression and played off of it trying to create small melodic lines that sounded unique. I think the best way of doing this is to set up a mini disc recorder or even a cheap hand held recorder that you would find at Radio S*** and record the jam. Then you compile all the takes. I like to then take some time away from it so that when I hear it again it is a bit more fresh to the ears. Youll notice that the main melody uses some of the blue tones of the minor pentatonic scale. It also follows the exact note of the chords walking up. This helps to set up your solo and helps to lock you in with what the bassist is doing.

"The next part is a two handed tapping technique. This follows the chords exactly. This is where knowing how to make an arpeggio comes in very handy. You will notice that I am playing the 1-3-5 of each chord. In the first arpeggio we outline a C minor chord then we go to a Bb major chord then to an Ab major chord and then all the way down to the G. The next section goes from C minor to Bb major and the walk up goes Ab major, Bb Major, B major and Db Major. It is really important that you learn where all of these arpeggios exist. Tied with the higher root of each of the chords this makes quite a cool sound. The other thing I will start talking about is the tap from nowhere. This is where your left hand finger slams down to sound a note on a string that has not been played. Guys like Greg Howe are so good at these techniques that you really cant tell the difference between his picking and his taps from nowhere. Pretty awesome! Imagine all of the new ideas you can come up with simply using the Minor and Minor Pentatonic shapes. Imagine if you knew all of the chord tones that were passing by as well. This thought always starts to make my head explode. There is just so much to learn on the guitar and I think that is one of the reasons why I love it so much. Even with the information that we know now we could reapply it to different parts of the fret board and learn it in all of the keys as well. Really milk these ideas for everything they are worth. Once we go through that series of arpeggios we then move back to the C minor then to the Bb major and this is where it gets a bit tricky. Here we outline the walk up with a neat tapping sequence. The chords to outline are Ab major, Bb Major, B major and Db Major. This is one of those taps from nowhere so really take your time and read the tabs very closely. Think (Left Tap, Right Tap)LT RT LT RT and so on. Dont be afraid to really experiment with this and move it around through all kinds of different shapes."

[Editor's note -- Check out the video link above. Such a sweet and clear tone he achieves using picking and two-handed tapping on 6-string! No sticky playing required, even though he uses a mute as on a dedicated touchstyle instrument.]

I want to know what guitar tapping is. and how does a person tap using a pick? A video would help immensely. Thanks for any feedback.
