hold your guitar as if you were tapping
so that your left pinky is next to your right pointer

L/R1 - left/Right pointer
L/R2 - middle finger
L/R3 - ring finger
L/R4 - pinky

so on the same string
L1 held down the whole time
then
R1
L2
R2
L3
R3
L4

and just keep going
R1
L2
R2
L3
R3
L4

i dunno moving up and down the string w/e you want.

ya if someone can play this i would love to hear it.

ya i know this is going to sound fing retarded but while i was watching tv i was playing around with my rock band guitar and was doing that sequence pretty fast, and on the beat.

o btw i know nothing about guitar, i play drums, so if this is a common tapping w/e.

i wish i played guitar,(so at least i wouldn't sound like a dumb a## asking this) although i do really like drums.

Sorry dude, had to do it. 😀

I'll give it a try on my guitar tomorrow, if I could figure out WTH you mean with the code you made up.

That code for each note is a bit confusing. Any way you could put in a tab?

I'll give it a whirl if I can understand it a bit more fluently...

i mess up twice
but i think you can understand this now.

Hmm normally you would only tap with one finger, moving across the frets, instead of using a different finger for each fret (unless you're this guy). I'm a bit confused because the first thing you do (the slow part) is different from the part where you play faster. I'll give it a try when I get home, but it probably sounds better on your guitar... er, plastic thingy 😀
