The Tapping Technique (right hand) (indicated L)
This technique is similar to the hammer-attack but only the right hand fingers are involved in producing the sound.
Attack the fretboard with the right hand index finger (I), using enough force to sound the note(s).
Try playing this example with the other fingers of your right hand .
i.e. M L R
Play this exercise on the G, D and A strings in different positions as well.
Lick 104 is a C major chord played with both hands. Firstly a hammer-attack (HA), followed by a hammer-on, followed by a right hand tap (see photo). Let all the notes ring.
Lick 105 uses the same techniques as the above lick but is based on a C minor chord.
Memorize the chord patterns and transpose them into different keys. For more information about two handed tapping technique and tapping chords see Progressive Tapping Technique for Bass Guitar by Stephan Richter.
Lick 106 is based on the C major chord.
Lick 107 is based on the C minor chord.
