Summary of This Method
Chad Johnson: Guitar Tapping is a guide dedicated to one of the most striking techniques of modern guitar: tapping. Designed as a comprehensive journey, this method accompanies you from the fundamentals (coordination, finger placement, rhythmic consistency, note clarity) to the most impactful "licks and tricks" to add depth to your solos, intros, and instrumental passages.
The book emphasizes practical application to turn theory into automatic skill: you learn to chain tapping patterns musically, manage transitions with picking, and strengthen the balance between hands to achieve a clean and controlled attack. The technique is approached as an expressive tool, useful for both rock and more virtuosic styles, focusing on fluidity and clarity rather than speed alone.
Drawing on the sounds and approaches popularized by Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Michael Hedges, Jeff Watson, Vito Bratta, and Jennifer Batton, this method offers an inspiring exploration of tapping: effective licks to integrate immediately into your playing, as well as ideas to vary placements, articulation, and accents. An excellent choice for guitarists looking to expand their vocabulary and give a more modern signature to their phrases.
