The New String Skipping Tapping / Technique


Hi friends, I would just like to say thanks very much for the privilege of being a part of this interesting site. This is my first exercise for "Chops From Hell".

Let's talk about this Lick... It includes important guitar technique used by Malmsteen in his "Rising Force" guitar solo. He played arpeggios by using sweep picking technique. Here in my transcription I replaced the sweep picking with simple tapping and string skipping.

I hope you enjoy it.
