Members Fred5 Posted November 22, 2002 Members Share Posted November 22, 2002 Howdy. Some friendly, tapped, classical arps from hell >>> http://hem.bredband.net/b139452/audio/tapped_arps.mp3 These arps are all played on the D-string. It's in the D minor key. All arps except the first and last are what's called inversions of chords. The second arp for instance is the G minor arp the open D at the bottom functions as the fifth - same as the fourth below. The cool part is that this thing is played with the left hand index and pinkie and your choice of other body part only. No other fingers or whatever are needed. When I'm not on stage I use my right hand index finger I'll post the tab for it tomorrow probably. See ya then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fred5 Posted November 23, 2002 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2002 Hi arpeggioists! Here's the tab for the arpeggios in the sound clip. It's all played on the D string. Every arp is repeated 3 times so it should be counted as being in 3/4 times - 1-2-3, one arp per count: --0-3-5----12----------------- --0-5-8----12----------------- --0-6-9----12----------------- --0-7-11---12----------------- Your almost halfway through --0-8-12---15----------------- --0-9-12---15----------------- --0-10-14--17----------------- --0-11-14--17----------------- Finish it of --0-12-15--19----------------- In the clip the last arp is played twice with a rest on the last count. So it's played five times and rests on the open D note. Next time, I'll post the harmonic function of these arps - the chords and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terje Posted November 23, 2002 Members Share Posted November 23, 2002 All on one string, eh? I'll have a look at that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fred5 Posted November 24, 2002 Author Members Share Posted November 24, 2002 I see I've had prominent guests in my thread Thanks guys, I'm happy if ppl listen and enjoy it or learn something from it. I spent my Saturday completing this lil' etude. Etude means workout in french Listen here The second half gets pretty involved but it's still only on one string - the G string this time - and those three fingers: left hand index and pinkie and right hand index or if you prefer the middle finger. The hard part is moving along the string and keeping the flow. If anybody is interested, I'll write out the tab and so forth... It ain't played perfectly but it's a beotch to play with a lined Boss into the puter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fred5 Posted November 24, 2002 Author Members Share Posted November 24, 2002 Originally posted by Terje So I have noticed... Sorry man! Don't fret (sorry again), it's probably a really big bite for beginning tappers and I'm talking about the first section only. For the second section I got a bit carried away. I've got big problems playing it myself and I've been practicing tapping for many years to and fro. On the bright side, anybody that can play through the first section has a good foundation in classic EVH style tapping. Furthermore there's the application of the circle of fifths, dominant chord subs, voice leading and counterpoint in it, if I'm not mistaking those concepts. My suggestion is to break it down mentally, like the first arp is the D minor one - root, third, fifth and root (octave). Do the same with the next three arps. Think of them as separate units first. Then, link those four together and learn to play them. Note that the right hand tap stays on the 12th fret so you don't have to worry about that much for the first four measures. Like so...

Members edeltorus Posted November 25, 2002 Members Share Posted November 25, 2002 Hey Fred5, I'm not really into tapping, but your second etude is really nice. Could you please post the entire sequence please? Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members djmojo Posted November 25, 2002 Members Share Posted November 25, 2002 hey fred, yeah I agree that second etude is really cool can you post the tab for that, I think it might help me get better at tapping and finding arpeggio intervals all over the fret board... if you dont want to post it you could email it to me... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fred5 Posted November 26, 2002 Author Members Share Posted November 26, 2002 Ok, here it comes. Glad you liked it. I'm still working my butt of trying to play it and I've changed two notes since the recording - it's still the same even flow of 4 note groupings. No worries Every arp is played three times: 0--12--15--19-- 0--14--15--17-- 0--10--14--17-- 0---9--12--17-- 0---8--10--12---- 0---7--10--15---- 0---5---8--15---- 0---6---9--14---- 0---2---5--14---- 0---2---5--11---- 0---3---7--14---- 0---3---7--12---- 0---2---5--11---- 0---5---8--11---- 0---8--11--14---- 0--11--14--19---- 0--12--15--19---- The last one is played five times. Take it easy and don't fry your brains trying to play it The hard parts are - to me - when both hands are moving sideways at the same time or when the movement changes from one hand to the other. Yikes Please don't try to play it while listening to my version at the same time. I play it moving around in tempo going faster, slower, faster and to try to follow somebody doing that will mess you up. One more technical note: the second arp is best play with the left hand index, middle finger and, of course, the right hand index... Good luck !

Members edeltorus Posted November 26, 2002 Members Share Posted November 26, 2002 Fred, I'm not going to tap it. I want to analyse the chord-changes and apply them to my sweeping practice... I "composed" a nice neo-classical sweeping etude while working on my skills, and I'm in need for some ideas how to finish it. Maybe one day I'll post the tab. It's simple to play for sweeping beginners, very nice sounding, and has a lot of theory stuff in it (modal changes from aeolian to harmonic minor 5 and a really cool dimished run). Thanks again, Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post it when you're ready. To my earsit's got a lot of Bach moves in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
