Progressive Tapping Licks: Private Lessons Series (Musicians Institute: Private Lessons) Sheet music – November 1, 2003

It a good. book and easy to learn but lack of technique. and more information to create new tapping on my opinion but is a good book

When all else fails, why not get some instruction? This book will definitely provide that.

Great!

Jean Marc presents some cliched triad lines to get you started in the first chapter, so the initial impression was that I wasted my money, but things start to get more interesting by the second chapter, some scale concepts, string skipping and the usual arpeggios are explored, some licks are tricky and difficult so it was cool to learn some new tricks, the ideas presented here have helped me get that fluidity going and come up with new stuff as well, some of the ideas work great using legato instead of tapping too, so I tried lots of the ideas here using simple hammer ons and pull offs with the left hand, the stretches helped my technique too so I ended up liking this book, most of the ideas presented are short so if you're looking for long licks look elsewhere, there are some cool satriani type chord tapping ideas and Jean Marc comes up with some interesting applications of this technique ...On the downside most of the tracks sound awful, I'm aware it's not a production showcase but more careful engineering and production would result in more inspiring material, in a couple of tracks the guitar sound is just plain horrible, i'm not asking for super pro production, dude just buy a POD, use some plug ins, get a decent sound and call it a day, we'll appreciate it ... oh and fire yor engineer, he's terrible !note to begineers : this book won't baby sit you thru the material, it starts easy but it picks up quickly with almost zero explanations and no photographs, you get the idea, it's more of a "play me if you can" affair, I'm an experienced player so that didn't bother me at all, if you get past that I think you'll welcome the challenge and benefit from this book, I'd like to add that this book is not the tapping holy grail, as some people expect too much from such books, go thru the licks, learn them, assimilate them, and then expand on them by applying them in different ways scales and keys to develop your own ideas, 3 and a 1/2 stars

Tapping has been part of metal and rock guitarists arsenal of techniques since popularized by Eddie Van Halen. In this book, the tapping techniques presented go beyond that to include triad tapping, scalar tapping and advanced techniques similar to that used by players like Vai, Satriani,Greg Howe and Jennifer Batten. An excellent resource and reference.

Normally I don't leave bad reviews on a book. However I was disappointed enough with this book that it warranted a bad review.The Cons:The book is paper thin. There isn't even an introduction to tapping and the style itself. A little more background and talk of the technique itself would be very useful.If you don't know how to do some tapping already this book won't teach you. It assumes you know how to tap and can expand on what you know.The Pros:The CD is good qualityThere are some progressive tapping licks in here that sound pretty hip.Honestly if you know how to tap and want a book to give you some more ideas then it's probably worth the money. If however you are knew to tapping then I'd look else where.

Not very inspiring. Only a few licks in this book that I would use. If you are looking for Eddie v Halen or rock/ metal tapping licks or sequences you should buy a different book

Quick and easy tapping licks to develop this lost art in the guitar skills department

米国MIから出ている教本で、全編がタッピングという中々(色んな意味で)面白い本エディ直系のフレーズから始まり、全弦を使うアルペジオタッピングやスタンリー･ジョーダン系の両手タップまでもあるが、少々散漫な印象もありますタッピングだけなのだから8フィンガーやアルペジオ系のタップ、両手タップをもっと掘り下げてもいいのでは？というのが正直な意見です。リフでタッピングを使うなど、アイディアとしてはいいものがあるのですが…ちなみに付属のCDの演奏は上手いとは言いがたいので参考程度にした方がいいかと思います。
