3. Guthrie Govan - One String Tapping Riff
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwg39a-VOsU Over to the messianic Guthrie Govan to herald in the start of the more complicated passages featured here. The man is a masterclass of execution in everything he puts his quirkily-brilliant mind to, and here although he does go on to break down some extremely advanced seven-finger tapping sections, what we'll be looking at initially is his introductory one-string repeating riff. Although with the speed he takes the progression up to may seem extremely daunting, as with any new technique it's always a case of practicing slower and taking things up a gear when you feel comfortable. Govan is a fantastic teacher should you watch the other sections of the video, or the rest of the tapping section, and for the rest of us who have already got the basic Van Halen-esque techniques under our belt, Guthrie's two-handed sequences will always take a hell of a lot more work to execute perfectly.
