In this video, I wanted to share 5 tapping licks with you that weren't the normal stereotypical patterns of the 80s. Except for the last lick perhaps. Instead, these licks are chosen to show that you can have a wild side to your playing and still retain musicality. The main inspiration for this lesson is the work of Andy James, John 5, and Eddie Van Halen.
