Hi, there!
This is the first part of my series "Tapping Arpeggios".
Why "tapping"? - I use a lot of two-handed licks in my playing. I started to explore and include more of this technique into my style because of the smooth and fluid sounds created with two-hand playing.
My influences include Allan Holdsworth, Scott Henderson, Al Di Meola, Frank Gambale and other great masters.
Greg Howe is the player who got me into using tapping licks in my style (of course, not personally - but through his albums Greg changed my view of playing!).
Why arpeggios? - I like to play arpeggios very much! Since they are my favourite licks, I decided to show them first.
The examples below show a few of the techniques that I have used in my last album. I developed these techniques over more than 3 years playing and I'm continuing to experiment . I hope that the results are good!
