Tapping is a way to help hold out the note but it is also used to damped a note and is used as a totally different strumming type. It’s insanely tough but when done right it’s so nice

[@thecobra882]

@send1treacts since he’s using electric the notes are read by the vibration of the string and the magnetic field the string has. So with tapping he can alter the amount of vibration above the pickup for the same note

[@spitfirevl2469]

Its not that tough really in my opinion, but it really depends what you're playing and how long you are tapping for because if i play a tapping section for longer i start to get a bit tired (my hands).

[@Sansations]

Or you know, a simple way is that you can play notes higher up while still playing lower down the neck. (Basically guitar multitasking) A great song to listen to is ‘Midnight’ by Joe Satriani. the entire song (i think) is tapping. Side note: Tapping is also a way of playing a note without having to pick it/fingerpick it. The sheer strength of the tap itself produces the sound.

@@stitchesttv I think there's no need to perform onstage to be a trending musician today If he released an album with a few guitarist feats. (He already collabed with herman lee on stream) he could break into mainstream easily.

Making an album would take much out of him and he doesn't think it's worth it.

[@evanblake-thomas7096]

Ur question at 3:2-- in that he tapped for a harmonic which gives the note a different sound, but a lot of times people will tap because it’s sometimes a note is out of reach and it can be played more efficiently and faster with tapping. Plus it looks cool😂

[@Sansations]

5:07 This is the reason it was called ‘Ascend’ he always started low and ‘Ascended’ up the fret board.

Tapping usually plays the pitch of the string that is tapped at the fret where it was tapped, but quieter, and it isn't a gentle tap. It is very difficult on acoustic guitars, but with electrics (and their more flexible and sensitive strings), tapping is very useful when playing a note far away from where the playing hand is. Anyone feel free to fact-check me as this is off memory.

[@spaz191]

I'm so glad you're reacting to his three original songs. It's not only the fact that he's playing fast, but more that he's so accurate in everything. Plus, it's a nice bonus that all three songs are the type you can listen to over and over again. Love watching your reaction to his talent...

[@CirynthLighthammer]

It's on rocksmith and it's my favorite song to play, and they did use the end on a anime show i can't remember what it was called though.

[@oblivion9302]

There is a free to play guitar hero made by the community. The game is called Clone Hero. People have charted all of his songs on it as well. Even the songs from all guitar hero and rock band games. If you loved guitar hero, it’s basically the best parts from all the games.

[@FreedomStateFSS]

When he tapps, he hits the fret and makes the note of that fret instead of strumming and only hitting the original frets with his left hand

[@hstan1821]

The higher up on the fretboard you press, the higher the note. So when he went from strumming to tapping he was tapping a higher note. So yes it does change what it sounds like.

[@xsplend1d870]

He's also doing what's called pinch harmonics which gives the note that squeal sound and to achieve that you pick the note with the guitar pick at the same time your thumb slightly touches the string directly after picking they happen almost simultaneously and he is also sweep picking alot and hammer ons and pull offs are a normal to soloing

[@hazard_209]

So it's funny that you say this should be in a movie. The Dooo said in early Q&As that he was in college for music composition with the intention to write scores for movies and video games. Then he blew up on KZbin and does this now ha!

[@Bappster420]

[@DevJourneywithGaryn]

So on the neck of the guitar if he is playing a. one with the pick and then taps a note anywhere on that string, for however long he taps that note the sound that comes out will be that note which is why in that bit he's playing a note and then when he taps it goes higher for a brief moment before going back to the original note. Ps. I'm a guitar player to anyone who tries to say I'm wrong in the comments.

[@gabeguzman5020]

another note for the strumming to tapping: when you do that, you play the chord and then you tap a strong or strings, so you basically get more then one sound at once. if that makes sense?

[@johnturner6149]

Crazy train part whooshed right through his head 😂

[@marshalldruar3234]

When you start tapping you essentially play 2 notes at once, one when you tap it and another when you let go. You can tap much faster than you and finger pick for the most part

[@kaitakaro_]

3:10 He did something call natural harmonics, it give an acute sound ( more cool ). This is a part of thedooo's playstyle i think. To make these natural harmonics you need to tap/pinch the string with 12 frets difference. Pinch harmonics are really cool too you can watch videos to understand. I'm french so if you can't understand something, sorry :p

[@writingalias4401]

hello, guitar enthusiast here, on report! Obviously, The Dooo is doing a lot of things that create different sounds on that instrument. That's a very well built instrument, and Dooo is fully fluent in the language of the guitar, that's the first thing one must know, in case it isn't obvious. He isn't amazing at one thing, or a few things. He's spectacular at everything. Bending a string creates 'bad' notes between notes, and the swale that comes from the sound is different than a pick of the string because it isn't sudden, its constant. And since your ear hears it as the note moves and 'bends', it doesn't sound bad, where if he were to strum at the wrong 'bend point', it wouldn't sound very nearly as good. The tapping does create a different tone, it creates three rapid notes every time he does it, the note playing on the string before the tap, and the hammer on/pull off notes. Most guitarists can hammer on with their fret-board hand. It's a fluttery sound when the notes or 1,2, or 3 frets apart, but after that, it doesn't sound fluttery, depending on the feeling a guitarist is trying to create, a tap can create a number of different tones. I haven't mastered it at all, but the short answer is yes, tapping makes a different sound than a pick or a strum. The Dooo can create a few squealing tones. There's a type of note that's called a harmonic. It sounds airy and light, almost like the sound a bell makes. However, with a harmonized note, a guitarist can make it scream as well on an electric. at 3:49 , There's a harmonic squeal that he creates (I never mastered this, so this is the best i can understand it.) He's also using a whammy bar that 'bends' ever string at the same time. If he pulls up, the entire guitar tightens, and all the notes playing on it bend upward. If he pushes down on the bar, it does the opposite and lowers every note. He definitely has pedals by his feet, a distortion that separates his 'clean' sound from his 'solo' tone. He never solos without hitting his distortion. He might have a few other pedals that effect his sound, but I'm not sure if he's exposed his pedal board. And finally, he's doing things and sounds that I can't understand. Hope this helped, lol

[@theeMattyfree]

I love thedooo, I've been watching him since BO2 and I'm so happy to see even creators are given some happiness by his music & content

[@BoBobber383]

So with tapping, there are scales that he is playing and scales have different positions. For example the pentatonic scale has 5 positions which you normally play 2 notes per string, diatonic has 7 and usually play 3 notes per string. when he taps just for example his fretting hand could be on a 4th position area and he can tap a note over in the 6th position

[@MediumCheeseCurd]

Let's go man, ascend is one of my favorite guitar solos, so glad you got to watch it :)

[@lucashatting4394]

When he goes from strumming to tapping in the clip you showed I believe it's because it's easiest instead of him going ten frets down with his left hand. It's only one note so it's easier for him to just tap that single note.

[@legendarywolfcrew]

My respect to the doo and honestly my most respect to you my man keep up the good work love the video as well

[@AshGD_GD]

the answer to your question is when you need to hit a note further down the neck board its easier to tap that note. as a guitarist of 4 years now tapping is an easier strategy.! hope that helps

[@Grim_Unhinged]

When he’s tapping, he’s not “Tapping” per say, for this specific song he’s quickly touching the string in a spot that causes the guitar to do a higher pitch on the note he’s playing, That is called a “Harmonic”

[@RyanMS2397]

I love the little crazy train riff he throws in at 5:59. I forgot it was there because he took it out of his Spotify version due to legal reasons.

[@joshhampton7235]

correct me if im wrong, but when the note is tapped it plays the fret which is being tapped. its just a hammer on, on a higher fret, which is why uts a much higher pitch than a regular “strum” or pick

Have you ever heard of one of his originals it's called utopia love it the vibe on it is chef's kiss imo

[@MrLionheart560]

So there’s a couple of ways to go about from strumming to tapping! 1. You can think of tapping as an extension of a chord or sequence of scales/arpeggios that fit perfectly within the context. 2. In terms of sound, yes, because when you saw him go from strumming, strumming the strings tends to be with more attack, giving off a more punchier abrupt sound. With tapping, it’s basically an extension of a hammer on, which is a term used to, effectively hammer a fret with your finger and not pick it, resulting in a lighter, softer sound. Hope that helps pal 🥰

[@lespaul36]

Tapping can be used a number of different ways. It can be for adding a note that your fret hand cannot get to so you can let the other notes ring. You can tap harmonics. Add a high note out of no where by tapping it. Increase the speed of the notes being played. There are too many things to really list, but those are probably the most common.

[@matth4539]

[@tylerplummer6701]

Along with some other comments on tapping I'm seeing, the difference is also it's technically plays the note he taps, aside from simply strumming while holding the string down. Makes it significantly easier to play much faster and with a very particularly clean sound. Insanely difficult to do well and fluently. His other originals are also great showcases of his skill

[@hakan7346]

Taping on the neck instead of picking the string gives hime one more note. You can hear the note where he taps and when he lifts his finger also gives power to the string just like a pull off.

[@aaronwarner06]

In relation to the guitar question: Technically, it's not strumming, it's picking, sorry! And it wouldn't affect the sound other than the note sustaining a little longer before tapping, as tapping means he's playing a new note completely. Hope that answers it, and I don't mean to be picky (pun intended). Loving these vids! :))

[@tarmy3619]

Tapping sounds different because when you pick a string the sound depends where on the string you pick. Tapping only vibrates the string depending on the fret.
