for tabs you HAVE to use the actual song too. Rhythms are hard to get through numbers but if you memorize them by listening to the song then tabs become exponentially more useful. Also playing along with the song will show any errors that the tab may have

You need to tap more. Learn Building The Church by Steve Vai. It's a 3 fingered tapping thing, but it's just a simple pattern. Deceptively simple, and once you've got the pattern down, you'll feel like a god. Playing that a few minutes a day for a couple of weeks and you'll likely never have any issue with finger tapping pains again :)

Gonna be corny as hell to say you’re the real Goat for taking the time to make this no bullshit, accurate tutorial. You’re the perfect example of the beauty of the internet.

Well, your video convinced me to learn more than the intro of the song, so I still ended up buying their tab pack. Comparing your video to the tab is going to make the whole process much easier.

Thanks for the feedback

@writemetalmusic

@@TheOneSekiro Oh man, I'm really sorry, I must have written up a response but not posted it. I find with anything like this, it really comes down to what you're willing to do. If fingerstyle is very important to you, then find a way to tap that allows you to keep your fingernails. However, if tapping is more important, then I'd recommend shorter fingernails. But in saying that, I would like to point out Marty Freidman, James Hetfield, Van Halen, and countless other guitar superstars have 'imperfect' picking technique. However, they are known as guitar monsters. They've found a technique that works for them, and honed in down to a craft. In the case of Marty Freidman, it's given him his signature sound which is quite hard for most guitarists to replicate. My suggestion is to weigh your options, and if you desperately need to start tapping, but you don't want to sacrifice any abilities for fingerstyle, then work with what you've got and find a way to make it work. Who knows, maybe you'll be tapping with your knuckle? Giving it a go right now, it's a little difficult, but I believe using your index finger and 'pointing downwards' would work. Alternatively, keeping your palm close to the fretboard and tapping with a straight-ish finger may be another option. Just play. If you have the passion to carve your path, you'll find a way. Sorry about the delay again, I thought I'd responded. Let me know if you've got any more questions. Jake.

5:20 - 6:20 is what I’m currently stuck on. Breaking it down into thirds is definitely helping. I was using mostly hammer on’s for the last part of it, but it looks like you are picking the notes 🤔. Will give that a go.

'hammer d string 7th fret slide to 9th fret, left hand tap high g on b string at 20th fret then hammer d on tenth fret low e' hard song i know, but that's how they teach it, this part is not tim though, first part is.. i might be wrong but i think there is no tim section for this part.. am still learning it and watching your video, not knocking you, you done a good job and yes, it's hard! lol.

I chose the tone because I wanted something that sounded like it belonged in a 'Polyphia world', but also sounded distinct enough that you could hear me in the mix. There are LOADS of amp simulators out there, and from what I can tell, if you get one that's got a known brand behind it, it's more down to your ability to use the software than it is the software itself.
