    "Another neat tapping technique, it's a slight variation of the basic tap technique, except you're using a little more hammer ons and pull offs on it. In this case, a little more hammering on. Basically, what you're doing is beginning with the tap again, I'm going to do this on the A-String beginning on the twelfth fret. I'm going to go. And basically what I'm doing is tapping on the twelfth fret, and then the octave of the open string, both notes being A, hammering on, third fret, seventh fret. It's a bit of a stretch, but it's good to get the muscles here in shape; if it's a little sore, no pain no gain. It's what you got to do to, you know, be where you want to get in life. So, we're going to do here is third fret, seventh fret, back to the fret, pulling off to the third, and then pulling off to open. So, the exercise in and of itself is. And again, practicing on each string. On the G, B, E, Low E, so forth. "
