Metal Guru: Rusty Cooley - Two-Note Tap Tactics
. Author: Rusty Cooley
. Category: Rock
. Description: There are so many ways to tweak and mutate standard tap licks.
When you get enough options at your fingertips,
you can mix, match, and mutate different
techniques to make your two-handed
tapping textures much more artful, unpredictable,
and downright freaky sounding than
many people would expect. This lesson
focuses on one fun approach that evolves
naturally from experimenting with classic
tapped riffs such as
Ex. 1a. Perhaps you’ve toyed with three-note
tap-pull-hammer riffs like this first lick. (The
slash marks simply indicate that the previous
beat’s notes are repeated.) Mess around with
it for even two minutes, and you may stumble
upon riffs like Ex. 1b—a tapped texture
that employs the exact same sequence of
moves, but involves only two different pitches,
because the first and last notes are the same.
This means that when each new triplet occurs,
the tapping finger—I usually use my middle—
comes very close on the heels of the frettinghand
finger that has just hammered at the
same fret.
