Overview

Tapping is a unique playing technique used on stringed instruments, particularly the guitar, where a string is fretted and set into vibration as part of a single motion. This extended technique involves using either hand to 'tap' the strings against the fingerboard, producing legato notes. Tapping is used in a wide range of genres, including rock, jazz, and classical music. Today, tapping is an essential technique for many musicians, who have pushed the boundaries of this innovative playing style. As a result, tapping has become a staple of modern music, with a wide range of applications and a growing community of musicians who are passionate about this technique.
