What is tapping?
Tapping is an advanced technique used to hit particularly difficult sections of a song. It utilizes the Hammer On/Pull Off system to allow use of both of your hands on the frets. When a HO/PO section is too difficult to accurately hit with on hand, you can bring up your strum hand to help you hit the sequence. The initiation strum can be done either with your strum hand (and then raising that hand up to the frets), or with an elbow strum (where you can leave your strum hand up on the frets). Tapping is never required (or even mentioned) in game to either beat or 5* songs. However, if you want to accurately hit sections such as Solo B of Jordan on Expert, tapping is necessary. To practice tapping, try the section called “Trill Me!” from the song Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight on Expert. NOTE: This is a highly advanced maneuver that is not recommended to anyone but Expert-level players.
