The Good Musician

Two-handed “touch style” instruments

by csnowden on April 10th, 2008

Heard of tapping? This is a stringed instrument played by tapping the strings on the frets, sorta like playing piano–no strumming or picking. The Tappistry Guild is a whole mess of people who play this style on guitar, bass, et al.

Traktor Topaz put out a very cool series of lessons for the tapper, you should definitely check out his in-depth pedagogy/musicology, delivered via the “Multi-String Shopper” newsletter.

The ultra fabulous Mobius Megatar dreams of taking over the world, one tapper at a time.
