Dewayne Pate - The Art of Tapping

If you think that two-handed tapping is just a "circus trick" for techno-flash bassists, then you're in for a real surprise! Tapping virtuoso Dewayne Pate has taken these techniques to higher musical ground, and presents each building block in a very practical, groove oriented fashion.

His careful, systematic approach covers fundamental through advanced techniques including: single-string soloing, cross-string and double-stop tapping, slapping and tapping combinations, simultaneous bass line/comping/melody arranged for two hands and much more. Together with drumming legend David Garibaldi, Dewayne shows you how to create sensational tapping grooves in such styles as rock, blues, latin, funk and reggae. Whether you intend to simply enhance your technique or make tapping the primary focus of your playing, this video will open a fascinating new world of possibilities!
