Type 1 ~~~~~~ If there's a Section where the notes are all spread out in a order (like the intro of Through The Fire And Flames) and requires you to use your right hand to hit more the then one group of frets, while the other hand must hit another group of frets. Type 2 ~~~~~~ This is when the notes go back and forth and you use one hand to hold on group down and you use your other hand to quickly tap the other side. Type 1 Examples ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Through the Fire and Flames - There Hammer-ons Through the Fire and Flames - Herman's Solo Through the Fire and Flames - Sam's Solo Through The Fire and Flames - Twin Solo Through the Fire and Flames - So Far Away II Through the Fire and Flames - So Far Away III (Red Snake) Through The Fire and Flames - Blackest Waves Through The Fire and Flames - You Rock!!!! One - Solo A Knights Of Cydonia - Galloping Triplets Type 2 Examples ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Through the Fire and Flames - Bridge I Through the Fire and Flames - Synth Death Monsters - Bridge 3 Cliffs of Dover - Intro Solo 2 Raining Blood - FLOOD!!! Now here are the terms I will use through the faq, Diagram: ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ G R Y B O r e e l r e d l u a e l e n n f o g r w f e f e r r t f e f e r t r t e e t t GF - Green Fret RF - Red Fret YF - Yellow Fret BF - Blue Fret OF - Orange Fret (O) - Hold Down (_) - Hit L - Left Hand R - Right Hand ____________________________________________________________________________ | Type 1 | | 3A | |____________________________________________________________________________| A good way to learn to two hand tap (Type 1) is to go into practice mode and try the intro on Through The Fire And Flames on Expert. Do the Intro in Slowest, do the Best you can, now try doing it by tapping every note. Once you do that do the song like this: (O) (_) (_) (_) (_) L L L L L ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ Then like this (O) (_) (_) (_) (_) L L L L R ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ Once you master that, try this..... (O) (_) (_) (_) (_) L L L R R ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ Then Try this........... (O) (_) (_) (_) (_) L L R R R ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ Once you master that, try it in Slower, then Slow, Then Full Speed. This might take you a couple of days to do but you will be able to get pretty good at it over time. Try practicing it by playing: Through The Fire and Flames - You Rock (O) (_) (_) (_) L L R ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ Through The Fire and Flames - Red Snake (So Far Away III) (O) (_) (_) (_) (_) L R L L L ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ (this is Extremely hard and not recommended for beginners) ____________________________________________________________________________ | Type 2 | | 3B | |____________________________________________________________________________| Type 2 is actually much easier then Type 1. the Big Difference is that you only half to hold down one fret with your left hand, and you just keep tapping the other note with your right hand. You can use your Index Finger and your Middle Finger on your right hand to move back and forth to tap faster. Now go into practice mode and go to Monsters in Expert (can only be unlocked by playing it as an encore in Co-op Career ode) and go to Bridge C: Start Tapping like this, and it won't be that hard to do this: (O) (O) (_) (_) L L R ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ Then it will go like.... (O) (_) (_) (_) L R ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ Then it will go like.... (O) (_) (_) (_) L R ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ This is actually really easy to do; it should only take you 30 minutes to do. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><> Contact Info <><><><><><> <><><><><><> 4 <><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Just Contact me at [email protected] If you have any questions, more info about what to tap and how to tap it, or if you've found grammar/spelling mistakes
