my left forearm grew to 10 times its size from all the practice of the riff and i still cant play it

[@aribenjamin862]

Holy crap! That's 5 frets tapping! I JUST started playing, and my hand can barely reach that far :D

[@felkr3w]

Good tutorial but the beginning of the time signature is the twelve frets. (So for instance it's 12-0-4-7-12-0-4-7 and not 4-7-12-0-4-7-12-0) not a big change but worth the mention I think!

[@michielhorikx9863]

When I listen to the original slowed to half speed, it definitely sounds like this tutorial is actually the correct one.

[@joseluiscaetanodasilvasegu7934]

caramba! não acredito que aprendi a tocar essa música! muito obrigagado cara!

[@massimhb8674]

Made me think of a van Halen riff. Hot for teacher.

[@aurora_98]

😢 I'm starting to hate arpeggio!!! My poor hands haha!
TotalGuitar Your lesson is great, very well explained but that's only the intro, do you have the full lesson? Please?

[@DumboEscuero]

thank you for this video!
please, a video of the guitar solo :D

[@arrxzon]

awesome thanks, How do you keep tapping very smooth and accurate ? As I get the problem of hitting against other adjacent strings sometimes.

[@malcolmhodgson7540]

+Arron EdgeWireGaming Practice i'm afraid. There are no short cuts.

[@jensmartinkollerud6257]

Or mute the other strings

[@SteventheThorn]

Super helpful! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! ⚡️⚡️⚡️🤓

[@theKATofficial2]

I still don't understand why is it so hard for people to just learn by ear, or simply by looking at this video.

[@ZPG-gh7ts]

Bro... 3 to 7..
I learned van halen eruption very fast, but this is harder finger based 😳

[@FIT3Y]

Do u guys have the full lesson?

[@TotalGuitar]

Jamie Fitzpatrick Afraid not, Jamie. We ran this as one of our regular 'Riff Of The Month' features, so we just covered this part. Thanks for watching though.
