Tappin’ the Blues
BY BOB BALSLEY
SO, YOU THINK TWO-HAND TAPPING
wannabes, and bass monsters such as Stu
Hamm? Truth is, there’s a fun way to incorporate
tapping into your everyday blues, jazz, and rock
playing, and it starts with learning the simple
move in Ex. 1 —a simultaneous tap on the fourth
and second strings with the picking hand’s index
(i) and middle (m) fingers.
To put this approach in motion, try the
swingin’ maneuvers in Ex. 2 , which work great
over a minor blues in E . The phrase starts with
the open low string being sounded with your
thumb. Next, pluck the Em7 triad. From this
point on, the rest of the first measure is slurred,
including our dual-tap at the 12th fret. In bar 2,
a juicy, close-voiced A9 is plucked and imme-
diately livened up with a dual-tap at the 7th fret.
Finally, in the second ending, you’ll find a tasty,
tap-happy II-V turnaround, with C9 acting as a
tritone substitution for the II chord.
