Bass Guitar: Tapping Basic Arpeggios explained! from happyslappysoong

For those of you who don’t understand what i mean when i say ‘arpeggio’, it simply a chord stretched out so that each note of the chord is played separately. I hope this helps you guys who are in the pursuit of bass tapping. Nothing special just a cool little chord progression and tapping breakdown. If you get bored watch at 6.37 where i bring the speed and where the tapping really sounds like ‘tapping!’ kinda thing. Me just messing around on the bass one night and decided to do this quick lesson in response to some of the demand i’ve had. Not really a lesson as such, but an explanation of some neat tricks i use when tapping. The licks i play here sound a lot harder than they actually are. Tapping isnt something to be abused, it is merely a stylistic technique to be used in appropriation in music.
