< BACK Subscribe Now Subscriber Login

This course is the perfect place to start if you are new to the tapping technique. Throughout this series, we'll be looking at each element of the technique in turn, learning how to use it, then employing it in a series of real-world exercises.

Each of the video courses shown below contains several sub-courses containing many hours of detailed instruction. For each of these, there is a downloadable resources folder containing PDF worksheets(available to subscribers only).

Getting Started

This short course covers some basic considerations: the setup of your instrument, muting techniques, and the ways in which tapping can be notated.

Basic Tapping Technique

The aim of this course is to get to you started with the tapping technique using a series of warm-up and finger strengthening/dexterity workouts.

Tapping Arpeggios (Part 1)

This course will show you how to play arpeggios using two-handed tapping. An understanding of basic music theory will be helpful when studying these courses.

Tapping Chords (Part 1)

The tapping technique is great for playing chords on the bass as it enables us to play notes in both the low and higher registers simultaneously.

Tapping Arpeggios (Part 2)

This course expands on the previous tapping arpeggios course and adds sevenths into the mix. Doing so creates some considerably more colourful chords and arpeggios.

Tapping Chords (Part 2)

This course covers seventh chords and the most effective ways of playing them. These chords are then used in some more complex chord progressions.

Providing Accompaniment

This course will demonstrate how tapping can be used to play accompaniment parts. These exercises really highlight the potential of the technique.
