Part 1 -

Hi. This is my first lesson, I hope it can be helpful.

The aim of this lesson is to provide more agility to bassists who enjoy the tapping technique.

I created it in order to give them some exercises in which they can practice the independence of the right hand fingers (for right-handed bassists).

The most common two-handed tapping bass lines usually involve either using only one finger in the right hand or, when using two, tapping 2 notes together, as a little chord. That tends to create technical limitations, so I think that doing the following exercise will help to keep your technique at a higher level, training your fingers to act separately.

In this first exercise, you may alternate the taps with your index and middle fingers in the right hand. For example, in the first measure, you are going to tap the 15th fret in A string with your index (finger 1) and the 16th fret in G string with your middle (finger 2), while you're gonna tap the 14th fret in D string with your left-hand index. Later on, in the other part, when the D string will demand the sound of 2 different notes, you will use the index and the middle (fingers 1 and 2) or the index and ring (fingers 1 and 3) from your left hand as well.

That's pretty much it. Practice a lot and enjoy.
