finger tapping......


Recommended Posts

please could someone tell me...

does the guage of strings effect how loud/noticable finger tapping is

i have a yamaha pacifica with guage 9 strings and it taps like a bitch its so good, however i also got an ibanez rg series with guage 10 and it doesnt really seem to sound as good when i tap. Like in solos when you start tapping it goes considerably quieter please cud sumone help me out with this before i go setting up my ibanez to take 9's only to find out it wont make a difference.

thing is, it'll be easier to sound the notes on 9s, but they have less volume and sustain than 10s anyway.....difference wont be that huge either way

i tap on 10s, think it works fine. if your having problems the answer is probably just more practise, unless you were already thinking about changing your strings
