To get better at tapping on the guitar, pay attention to these important finger techniques:
Hammer-ons: Press down hard on the guitar string with your fretting hand. Aim for a solid hit, using about 3 to 5 pounds of pressure to create a clear sound.
Pull-offs: When you lift your finger off the string, do it quickly. This will help you switch notes smoothly. Try to pull off with less pressure—about 40% less than when you played the first note.
Tapping with Your Picking Hand: Use your index and middle fingers to tap the strings. This helps you reach more notes without moving your hand too much. Practice tapping notes that are less than 4 frets apart to get the hang of it.
If you keep practicing regularly, you'll get faster and more consistent. Some skilled players can tap up to 16 times every second!
