Introduction

Though the birth of tapping is largely associated with the eighties decade, players had begun experimenting with it as early as the mid-to-Iate seventies. Namely among them are session whiz Larry Carlton and the inimitable Jeff Beck. It was only a matter of time before someone would truly exploit the technique and harness the potential it possessed. Eddie Van Halen almost singlehandedly
introduced the technique to the guitar world with the release of Van Hafen near the turn of the decade. Rock guitar players everywhere jumped on the bandwagon, and within a few years a new breed of tappers emerged with their own style. Players such as Greg Howe, Steve Lynch, Reb Beach, and Jennifer Batten twisted and reinvented the technique, achieving unprecedented results. More recently in the nineties, fusion and contemporary guitarists Stanley Jordan and T.J. Helmerich took it to the next level, in many instances getting rid of the pick all together.
The objective of this book is to provide some different ways of using the tapping technique. The licks presented here draw from the styles of all the above-mentioned masters. Therefore, a great variety of techniques will be covered. It is hoped that you'll find many ideas in this book that you'll be able to incorporate into your own playing. Good luck and enjoy.

Introduction
In contemporary music, the use of triads is an important element in improvisation and composition.
They are as prevalent as scales, modes, arpeggios, rhythms, and intervallic ideas.
Like scales and modes, triads can be substituted in tonal and modal music. They can also be
superimposed, creating bitonality or polytonality. Superimposed triads give us synthetic scales
such as hexatonic (6 note scales = 2 triads), or nonatonic scales (9 note scales = 3 triads).
What Is a Triad?
A triad is a three-note chord made up of a root, third, and fifth. There are four triad families:
Major triad: 1-3-5
Minor triad: 1-b3-5
Diminished triad: 1-b3-b5
Augmented tri ad: 1-3-# 5
Of course, in everyday applications triads are played with different inversions:
Root position
1-3-5

Inversion possibilities
3-5-1, 5-1-3, 3-1-5, etc.

Sometimes triads are played with one degree dispersed an octave higher:

regular triads
open triads

This dispersement procedure creates what is referred to as an open triad, and can be applied
to minor, diminished, and augmented triads, as well as major.

Triad Substitution
Triad substitution is where one triad is substituted in place of another. One of the most common
is flat-five-or tri-tone substitution. This is when a triad a flat-fifth degree (tri-tone) away is
substituted for a chord. For example: instead of playing a G major triad over a G7 chord, a Db
major triad (Db is a flat-fifth away from G) is "substituted."

Triad Superimposition
Triad superimposition is where two or more triads are played one after the other, creating a
"dispersed scale" effect of bitonality or polytonality. Of course all triads can be substituted or superimposed
in both tonal and modal music, either using the single-note approach or voiced in chord form.
 

About this Book
The purpose of this book is to help you to create your own ideas using triad concepts. It is
divided into two parts: tonal music (II-V-I chord progressions, Chapters 1 and 2) and modal
music (Chapters 3 and 4). Keep in mind that the examples do not follow a specific order
of difficulty; you can jump in anywhere and work with the licks you like best. You also might want
to listen to the CD first to locate the examples that appeal to you the most.

About the Audio
Throughout this book, the numbers in the audio symbols (+) indicate the CD track number
where each example will be found on the accompanying CD.
Each example is played at full tempo, and most are repeated at half speed. In addition, short
introductory phrases (which are not transcribed in the examples) are sometimes included to provide
a better sense of context and to maintain an improvisational feel.
