I've thought of this for a very long time and I have finally lost patience. So I thought I would take the shortcut from this forum; asking you guys:p
Let's say, a chord progression that goes C major - F major - G7. If I play a 'vai' kind of tap, meaning:
T (Slide with right hand)
Top E String ---13-s-15-s-13-p-12-p-10-p-8-h-10-h-12---
(Hope you guys understand this)
Do I hit the corresponding chord tone when the corresponding chord comes along? Eg: Play C, D and E and tap on G (Which is the fifth of C major) when C major is played. This is easy, as it automatically emphasizes C major.
The main question: Is it okay if I tapped only on G, but descend the scale with my left hand while the entire progression goes on? What I mean is: is it okay to 'NOT' hit the chord tones?
