I have tried and tried, but I can never get it right. Anyone care to enlighten me or put a link to a good video? Thanks in advance.

I've started learning two hand tapping on bass guitar
I understand the basics and have learned a little, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to become better and how to be able to play other things than arpeggios(all ive learned) Im fairly proficient at the instrument but this technique is giving me a hard time ThX
i would apreciate info on muting and patterns and such while two hand tapping,
thank you

know that you use both hands on the fretboard/neck and play mostly with your fingers but I need to know exactly how to do it. An example of it would be Eruption by Van Halen, in which he two hand taps some of it. And I know its supposed to make you faster, but in a song like Crazy Train (by Ozzy) where you finger tap the first part of the solo its seems like it wouldn't because all of the finger tapping is done on the same string. How would it make you faster to two hand tap on the same string?

ok, i have had a broken string on my guitar for 2 weeks (getting one tomorrow), and i was trying to play the interlude to Between the Buried and Me's "White Walls", and it goes like:

|-----------------------------|--7------10--------10-12-|
||o---------------8-10-----|-----8-------8---------------|
||-------11---7----------9-|-------9--------9------------|
||-----9----9----------------|------------------------------|
||o-7------------------------|------------------------------|
||o---------------------------|------------------------------|

|-12-------8-7----------|------------------------------------||
|-----8----------8-------|----------------12-13-10-12--o||
|--------9----------7-9-|------------9-----------------------||
|-------------------------|--10-9-7--------------------------||
|-------------------------|-----------------------------------o||

But ive been doing this (because of broken string): (T= tap note with right, H= hammer "from nowhere with left eg tap with left hard)

T H T H T
|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
||o---------------8-10-----|--t12p8----t15p8-----t15s17---------|
||-------11---7----------9-|-----------9----------9---------------------|
||-----9----9----------------|---------------------------------------------|
||o-7------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
||o---------------------------|---------------------------------------------|

T H T
|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------||
|--t17p8----t13s12p8----------|----------------12-13-10-12--o||
|-----------9----------------7h9---|------------9-----------------------||
|-------------------------------------|--10-9-7--------------------------||
|-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------o||

and i was wondering, do you think this is how tapping originated, or am i just making do?
ignore T's and H's, they were misplaced, tab was too long

i need to find some songs with good taping sections, like the one in "eruption" and "crazy train". neoclassical is good to.

P.S. does anyone know where i can find the /complete/ version of michael j fox's rendition of johnny b. goode?
i need to know where i can find the tablature

Jordan, famous for his two-handed tapping technique, developed his method as a teenager in the 1970s and uses the technique to play simultaneous melody, chords and bass lines. He's played in St. Louis many times before, notably at Mississippi Nights and Finale Music and Dining.

Two-handed tapping flourishes on specialty tapping instruments, and Adam had a custom-made two necked guitar. Then he began stunning audiences around Europe with his amazing performance.

Here's a top ten guitar video list, and our man Adam is right up there. What's really cool is that he's sharing the bill with none other than Steve Vai. Steve Vai! Ladies and gentlemen, Steve Vai! Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Fulara!

Way cool. Check it out here:
