It's a different feel than your link but his website used to have an intro to tapping lesson link. Looks like it is under construction right now. Here's his take on Autumn Leaves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQZY87PDsnQ&feature=related
I plan to develope that ability later but still need to come to grips, (1 handed) :lol: , with getting my basics down first.

In order to play one handed like that you need to have a good command of various fretting hand techniques and, believe it or not, you get that simply from playing. Being able to play good clean hammer-ons is obviously the first place to focus as that's how you're going to get most of your initial notes.

Like anything, start out easy. Pick a simple riff that you know quite well and start there. Even using a scale pattern would work.

You'll also want to know where your notes are on the fretboard and how they relate to various chords and riffs. Being able to pull-off to open strings works well when the notes of the open strings fit into the riffs you're playing.

The more you approach learning this from simple technique (as opposed to simply being in awe of it), the faster you'll be able to figure a lot of it out.

Hope this helps.

And a welcome to Guitar Noise to both of you (incredibly strange to get first-timers on the same thread in such a short time - you'd almost think it was planned that way! :wink: )
