Great teaching techniques! So glad I found you! Thank you ¦¬)

Oh yes you’re totally right!
I’m sorry, I thought (with my stupid head) that you meant that you couldn’t get slap harmonics on all the strings Without pushing on any fret.
but of course if have a chord you can’t get harmonics on all the strings just by slapping the 12th fret!
You’re right and well thanks for commenting on my (not so sharp) comment!
Goodluck in the future, and well you already played with Eric Mongrain so I guess it will just keep getting better!
January 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am
You misunderstand, you cannot get harmonics at the 12th fret on all the strings whilst holding the chords. You CAN get slapped harmonics anywhere with the correct positioning of the slap relative to the chord shape you are holding but getting a perfect slapped standard C major at 12th fret equivalents for example would not be possible.
It Would however be possible to get an approximation by angling your slapping finger to adhere roughly to the chord shape, which may be what you mean??
January 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am
you can’t get slap harmonics with the other strings? well that is certainly not true..
January 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am
is there anything to get some high defined harmonics???

Hi do you mean the pickup in the sound-hole?
If so then the answer is no it is not needed. But it can make it easier on some guitars.
January 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am
good ear man, glad you spotted it!
January 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am
Hi Dale!!! your guitar have one metal bar, is very important for the sound??

thx. im planning to buy a new guitar. my only acoustic which i took from high school years back aint really working for me. cant do the “high hatting” properly and im missing the frets that is required to do your song.
great tutorial and keep it up. im actually learning something for a change.
January 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am

January 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am
Finally is someone able to explain me that

Work out a cool riff or chord progression and then see if some simple percussive work can be added, maybe you need some tapping to keep it flowing…..
I may cover this a bit in one of the lessons I am making at the moment….
January 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am
Only add percussion/tapping if needed. Every now and again someone (usually a smartass) will say to me “thats great and all but its just showing off you don’t need to do it”.
I always respond by telling them that actually for various reasons I do – It helps the flow of the piece, cannot be played sensibly in another position, or I feel it adds to the music.
To some extent these are very visual techniques but use them to enhance the music and you can’t go wrong.

Hi Paul, glad they have been useful.
Composition is a difficult one, everyone has a different method. And I find that I even vary from song to song, some points to watch would be –
Staying focused, this can mean trying to work out what the most important element of a song or section is and try to enhance it. Don’t over complicate for the sake of adding a technique if it detracts from the melody for example.
January 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am
All of these lessons are really great and I’ved learned a lot from them, but if you could possibly make a lesson about tips for composing using percussive/tapping techniques, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
January 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am
I’m still uncomfortable with this percussive guitar thing…. Meh, each to their own. :]
