Guitar Tricks * Learn Guitar Fingertapping
Pentatonic Fingertapping
A good scale to begin experimenting with the eccentric
guitar trick referred to as "fingertapping", is the
basic pentatonic box scale. For example: A minor pentatonic
minor scale, shown below. Example #1 shows the names of
the notes in this scale (A,C,D,E,G). Example #2 shows
two of these notes (D note, shown on the small e string
10th fret), and the A note, shown 10th fret B string.
This provides a most useful extended box shaped "pattern"
for guitar fingertapping. As the frethand plays the notes
derived from the basic "box" (frets 5 through 8), the
pickhand "taps" the notes on the 10th fret of the small e
and B string's. To produce the sound of the fingertapped
guitar notes, most players choose to use either the index
or middle finger of the frethand, others use the guitar
pick.
Example #1 Example #2
A C D E G A C D E G A C D A
e :-----------------|----------5-8----|-------10--------|
B :-----------------|-----5-8---------|-----------10----|
G :-----------------|-5-7-------------|-----------------|
D :---------5-7-----|-----------------|-----------------|
A :-----5-7---------|-----------------|-----------------|
E :-5-8-------------|-----------------|-----------------|
Understanding that the basic pentatonic minor box scale
was extended for this guitar trick, to create or improvise
useful lead guitar patterns, or guitar licks, it's simply
a matter of adding a few techniques such as hammer-on, and
or pull-off, as shown in this next example.

Changing Keys
As with any any guitar lick, the possibility of changing
keys is a prominent factor and very useful guitar tool.
The example's below demonstrate how to move this guitar
trick from the key of A to the key of B, simply by moving
everything up 2 frets.
Example #4 * Key of B
e :-12--7--10-------|-----------------|-----------------|
B :-----------------|-12--7--10-------|-----------------|
G :-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D :-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A :-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E :-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
To play this lick in the key of C, move up 1 fret from B,
to play in the key D, move up 2 frets from C, to play in
the key of E, move up 2 frets from D and so on, etc...
