      Hi Tory, does the guide show any right hand exercises/scales/technique,etc? Or is it just how to setup the guitar for tapping? Thx , I just noticed the table of contents.

      Hey Tory. Unfortunately that link doesn’t work anymore and I’m very interested in how you set up the guitar to make such fluid playing and your clear sound possible. I’ve been trying to learn the mostly hammer on style and I struggle with it without knowing it’s realistic on my guitars. Do you think any of the Salen or Strandberg guitars would do it? I’ve been salivating over the Salen jazz models a lot or one with a tremolo but they don’t all have the carbon fiber reinforcement that you said helped a lot. Is that a requirement to make it easier or just to maintain the neck tension? Do you think you could do all that on like the Salen jazz out of the box?

    Very interesting story about Liszt setting his practice piano up with a high action - thank you! Very scholarly of you. Pianists actually have to be concerned with injury too, traditionally from playing too loud to compete with drums and brass, then amps. I have short pinkies and they definitely kept me from mastering any Liszt growing up and at age 67 they have taken a beating over the years. I had to learn to lighten my touch a lot, for two reasons: longevity and musicality. I've had solo piano gigs where I've had to play a huge grand close to tables of diners and keep the volume whisper quiet. That is a workout of a different sort, playing to the bottom of the key bed at a soft volume all night.

    What you say about having to choose between being a virtuoso soloist and being a composer is very true. My whole life I wanted to be Steve Morse, Allan Holdsworth and Eric Johnson rolled into one. But every time I pick up the instrument, I immediately start noodling compositionally because I hear fragments of song straight away, which I then plunge deeper into, carefully tracing the chord shapes, melodies and picking patterns I've stumbled upon which are clearly part of a song just waiting to be uncovered. Writing songs is like excavation for me. It is very deeply satisfying when I catch a good one. Still, my frustration at being inept at soloing continues...

    Wow, amazing playing and sound of your guitar. I first got introduced to tapping by Stanley Jordan playing Elenor Rigby which blew me away. I spent years studying tapping and trying to use all eight fingers. Ended up getting by right hand crushed 21 years back which killed my playing, but still manage to tap a little with two fingers on right hand. I love using tapping for ambient guitar now, playing nice chords and slow tapping. I have always liked the difference in how the right hand sounds when tapping compared to hammering with left.
    Really enjoyed your video. All the best

      Yeah, so I use a little bit but it's only like 20 or 30%, any more than that and you end up with a lot of annoying noise and janky haptic feedback. It comes from two things, finger based tone production / control and setting your pickups the correct way for this... As is what is found in my guide that I'm selling....

      I do like playing acoustic, although it's usually just fingerstyle. With that being said, I've only really seen two different acoustic guitars which allowed me to do any tapping... So believe it or not some of the good Martins will allow you to do a lot of stuff up to a certain point... But probably the best acoustic I've ever seen for this was this random Epiphone sort of masterbuilt or Master series retro sort of a hollow body acoustic, that one you could just tap on it and it would actually ring out and speak sort of like an electric guitar, I imagine with some tweaking probably would work great.

    • @TorySlusher
      @TorySlusher  3 года назад +8

      It's actually not a lot of compression, it has to do with the nature of the carbon fiber neck and how low you can get the action. Also, having to pick up lower for the lower strings and closer for the higher strings, which naturally balances out the differences in volume, etc.
