Module 1: Learn the perfect mechanics for tapping and a range of cool licks and discover articulation techniques.

Module 2: Get the most from single-string tapping with a collection of scale sequenced, arpeggio-based and ostinato licks. Learn etudes in the style of Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads.

Module 3: Learn how to extend pentatonic patterns with tapped notes to create powerful licks. Discover polyrhythms and explore advanced blues scale ideas.

Module 4: Create diatonic modal licks and sequences. Learn three-note-per-string legato runs in the style of Reb Beach and Steve Vai. Play string-skipping taps in the style of Guthrie Govan and Michael Romeo.

Module 5: Master three-octave string-skipping triads, seventh arpeggios and extensions, and how to sequence arpeggios. Play lines in the style of Guthrie Govan and Steve Vai.


All in all, Chris Brooks' 3 in 1 Picking & Tapping Guitar Technique Collection contains everything you'll ever need to know about building perfect technique, and applying it musically.
