                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I don't feel so bad now that I am super slow moving the pic around in my hand if I use my 1st finger to tap.  I will do some practicing on just moving it around.  My 2nd finger feels super week when tapping.  <br><br>Since I have just started playing a few months ago and I have no one around me that is musically inclined I really liked the sound of tapping.  Also, playing the guitar has opened my eyes to music I never really paid any mind to (Clapton, Santriani, ACDC, VH, etc.).  I do take guitar lessons from a teacher with a music (guitar) major so hopefully this will help with my progression.  I will see if I can get a short video clip up next week on my site for some criticism.  I am always ready to improve!<br><br>Right now I working on Panama, Back in Black, tapping, scales and transitions of chords.  My goal is to be able to play lead.  I should have a pic of my guitar set up on myspace  <a href="http://www.myspace.com/williamsheather">http://www.myspace.com/williamsheather</a><br><br><br><br><a href="http://www.heather-williams.com">http://www.heather-williams.com</a>]]></content:encoded>

Used sparingly it is a great technique. <br><br>Myself, I like to tap with my middle finger. This allows me to hold the pick normally. I do not like the sound of tapping with the pick itself, it seems tinny to me. Again, that is just me. <br><br>It takes a little practice to move from tapping back to regular picking. It is just something you have to practice slowly until you get good at it.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[It's up to you really, some people use their second finger, some people use the first, other people just use the pick to tap. There are certain advantages using a pick, you don't have to worry about doing anything with the pick and it gives you a different sounding attack (apparently). If you use the pointer finger, alot of people will just palm the pick, it apparently takes alot of practice. I am by no means a tapping, sweeping, blazing solo type player, this just comes from what i've read.]]></content:encoded>
