Guitarpages without tapping?No way!!But since this technique isnīt
useīd so much i will only show a few exercises.To play the first exercise
place your frethand finger 1 on the 5th fret and the 3rd or 4th finger
on the 8th fret.Tap (hammer on) onto the 12th fret with the other hand
finger 1,pull off to the 8 fret and then pull off to the 5th fret and
