EXERCISE 4

One of my favourite things to do is to add quick right hand tappedslides to fast, alternate picked runs. Also in E Dorian, this lick ascends and upon reaching the first string, your middle finger shifts across and adds a quick slide up and down. This is repeated before moving back down the strings and resolving on the E root note. The accuracy of the slide here isn’t necessarily that important – when done at speed, the overall effect will be the same.

Check out these licks on the website (australianguitarmag.com.au) - I hope they inspire you to come up with some of your own original tapping ideas.
