Percussive Fingerstyle 101: Thumb Slaps, Harmonic Taps & Body Percussion

Turning Your Guitar into a Full Rhythm Section

Combine palm heel strikes on the upper bout (Kick Drum), thumb slaps on bass strings (Snare Drum), and fingerpicking melody for a 1-man band sound!

Artificial Tapped Harmonics

Fret a chord with your left hand and tap forcefully 12 frets higher with your right index finger to trigger bell-like ringing harmonics.
