This video guitar lesson is an based on an silly idea I had to convince people you are playing insanely fast. Now, we would all like to do that wouldn't we, especially if in reality we aren't actually playing that fast at all.
The Double Tapped Note
So I should start by saying that this lesson may or may not work for you! Don't worry, I can already feel the YouTube hate, but when I came up with this idea, the whole concept is to try and expand on a concept (tapping in this case), which already has many rules and ways of doing it, and break out of the box and create something brand new. I think this concept is pretty new (well it is to me, I don't think I have ever seen Eddie Van Halen doing it!) and it may or may not be of use, but it is exercising a different muscle, the creativity muscle.
The Creativity Muscle
This is something I am always talking about in my workshops, and forms a part of my guitar creativity book, by trying unusual concepts something new will develop. Now in this case it might not be the tapped double note, but it might spark something which leads to you develop another technique and who knows you might develop something out of it yourself, it is all about giving you ideas to develop your own voice. This is what most of our guitar heroes did, and that is why we recognise them as being the gods that they are, they were unique, they push boundaries and the found their own ways of expressing themselves. Go forward and create.It's great fun and some interesting things can come out of this technique. I am calling it The Double Tapped Note– Guitar Creativity
