A collection of 60 of the best tapping ideas, concepts and licks based on 20 years of electric guitar playing experience.
Builds musical vocabulary - a veritable dictionary of licks, or rather a lick-tionary!

Most of these licks are in the key of A, since this is a key most guitarists are familiar with.Many are presented in either minor pentatonic, natural minor or Dorian scales, since these are the most often-used scales in rock improvising.

Encourages substitution with other modes by changing the appropriate intervals.
Includes access to downloadable companion audio and video online.
