    Glad you mentioned what kind of effects you were running. I was thinking with something like this, it would be nice to know how you're getting that sound. Like....what's your volume / tone at on the guitar along with which pick-ups, etc. Just those small details that really help folks starting off how to get those sustains when you're tapping as oppose to using a pick

    BEN ELLER, is this called Alberti Bass or broken figure? most classical broken figures in the left hand are 1-3-5 or 1-b3-5 the way your broken figure is the bass hand is 1 while the right hand is going the 5-8 octave and then the bass hand does the 3rd while the does right hand 5th to octave then the bass hand does the 5th while the right hand does the 5th to octave.

    Wow....I'm right handed and didn't realized how uncoordinated my right fingers are! I can do kind of complicated, fast tapping with my left hand doing most of the work, but reversing that is so damn awkward. I'm having to just practice tapping on my desk with the pattern to try to speed things up!
