i don't really mean to toot my own horn, but the tapping on the song "solitude" on my site is pretty basic. you can try that. (the tab is there as well.) most songs with tapping are very difficult and very involved for a beginner.

btw, i ljust listened to your cover of 34#, simply soothing and amazing. i like it. and of course, solitude is a really good song as well. I am always impressed with you.

ok tapping.

i would do basical excercises first. like the little two note intro in "knock on wood"

or hte few measure of the verse of trace bundy's "dueling ninja"

hmm, start with just one string, then play around with two hand hamer on and pull off. do a search online, there are exercises you can do.
