 Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2007 6:20 pm Post subject: The Tapping Guide (+gh1 "practice mode" tip) |
 |
|
You guys know I FCed decontrol. When I was recording on the vcr I rewound to the solo and played along. This helped me get learn the solo very fast. I went through it a couple of times to get the strumming down and then to get the fingering. So I think this could be the next step, after the vsg player and looking at the actual note chart, toward gh1 practice mode.
With only 4 FCs left on gh1, this could play a role in them being FCed.
I hope this helps you guys :P

If you are just starting to learn to tap, first read: TAPPING: A Complete Beginner's Guide
Note: all guides are in REGULAR flip.
Also note: I use some capitalized words. I am not trying to sound mad, those are either very important or key points of this guide.

Some solos like Jordan can only be FCed with tapping. Some of the sections in this guide are not the best way of doing it in a real run and are only there to help you learn. That is why I have put this guide in order of difficulty from hardest to easiest.
Also, you can try to experiment with my guide and change some fingerings. Consider that it might not work on full speed of you plan on that being your way of doing a solo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you attempt any of these solos READ EVERYTHING so you don't confuse yourself.
If you are having trouble reading the guide, try to use what I've posted to see if you can figure it out faster than just asking me. If you can't, then ask. I wouldn't have made this if I didn't want to help people. I will be glad to answer any questions by a post or PM.
Also, if anyone has any tapping methods they would like to show me, then PM me.

Jordan solo b:
This is the most difficult section to tap out of all of the songs. See vids for help
KEY:
1234= left(right if lefty)hand
1234= right(left if lefty) hand. Tapping finger can be 2(middle finger) or 1(index finger)
1234= Slide finger to that note and keep finger held down untill next slide.
I don't want people wasting their time so read below.
PLEASE READ THIS: This is the only format to wihch you can successfully tap this solo. The different ways that people who have 400+k are very very small changes to this format. The original way, I believe, is Microgamer's format. Mine is slightly differnet. I do not recomend trying to use one tapping finger. If you can get to slow or full speed, you need both tapping fingers. There are ONLY TWO change you can make to the format. For a (ex.)  ,You need to hold down your left index finger. You may tap with your right index or middle finger. That is the only change that can be made. And for the  before the first break in solo b, you can tap the red notes with your right index or middle finger. Or you can play it regular.
For the rest of the solo, you will need the play it word for word.
note:most or all of the finger slides will need to be held down untill the next slide because this solo is VERY FAST. Also this is how I tap solo b in jordan, there may be more than one way of tapping.
Also note: I didn't invent tapping for solo b.
During (ex):
 
1112221
After every six notes you need to slid your index finger.
During (ex):
Have ONLY your left index finger held down for this series.
During (NOT ex):
Only hold your index finger down for the fist 9 notes. Then pick it up to reach the OBO with more ease. After this series, go back to the regular format of the solo.

Sorry that this is very hard to read, but it also was very hard to write. I hope this is a good enough guide to help people learn tapping for solo b for Jordan. Btw, this took forever to make so there might be an error or two. Also for people who are going to do this, good luck  !

You Really Got Me solo a
This section is difficult to tap. These aren't the only ways of tapping this solo. See vids for help.
KEY:
1234= left(right if lefty)hand
1234= right(left if lefty) hand. Tapping finger can be 2(middle finger) or 1(index finger)
1234= Slide finger to that note and keep finger held down untill next slide.
Play the first 4 trips the best way that works for you. You can hold fingers down, or not hold fingers down.
This is the most common way of tapping
For this way 12 can be 21. I would try both ways to see what works best.

Arterial Black solo a-b
This section is kinda difficult to tap. It is faster than the easier sections. See vids for help
KEY:
1234= left(right if lefty)hand
1234= right(left if lefty) hand. Tapping finger can be 2(middle finger) or 1(index finger)
1234= Slide finger to that note and keep finger held down untill next slide.
note:This is how I would(I don't normally tap this solo) tap this solo. There may be more than one way of tapping.
This solo doesn't envolve a lot of left index finger sliding, so it may be easier to some people.
For solo b you don't need tapping , but I'll write it with the right way to tap it. After the last tapped O note there is a B note that can be tapped. It depends on if you strum or hammer on the next section.
I prefer to use just my middle finger to tap all of the notes that are tapped, but you can use any combination of finger tapping. Something different from that could be for every Y note tapped, use your right index finger. Or Only use your right middle finger for every O note tapped.

Ballroom Blitz solo 1b
The key to doing this solo is hammering everything possible during the fast part. Also you want to keep very tight fingering
How you start it is after the last 8th note triplet(Y note), hammer the first G note of the fast part right after the Y note.
The fingering for the fast part is 8th note triplets. After you hammer the first G note, strum as though you are playing just 8th note triplets.
I strum this whole section so my timing for my strumming is better.
KEY:
1234= left(right if lefty)hand
1234= right(left if lefty) hand. Tapping finger can be 2(middle finger) or 1(index finger)

Additional Key Fof This Section:
1234 = ghost note
Ignore the little marks in the notation they are spacers.

I might make a guide because my fingering is almost impossible for the average jordan player. But I will record myself doing other methods on different speeds. A gudie for this will be made later

I just tried this and after 15 minutes I can FC it maybe a third of the tries.. on slowest! Has anyone actually mastered this on Normal speed? It would be mighty awesome to do that.
