January 18, 2010, 14 years ago
PSYOPUS guitarist Christopher “Arpmandude” Arp has released a new instructional book, entitled Exploding Fingers: Finger Tapping Mastery For The Electric Guitar.
A message at the band's MySpace page reads: "Thank you for considering this instructional book. The purpose of this book is to give it’s readers an extensive and thorough wealth of guitar tapping exercises meant to challenge and decorate your playing in ways you may have never been familiar with before. The more time you spend digesting, perfecting and incorporating these ideas into your everyday playing, the more you will reap the fruits of this clever, unique and scarcely charted territory. Many of these exercises are geared to develop your ability to travel all over your fret board while utilizing tools at any spot between these frets. Its pages are a gold mine of licks and ideas for the inspiring guitarist looking to bring his playing to a higher level.
The book includes 337 exercises, an etude from the song 'Kill Us' and a transcription of the instrumental 'Imogen's Puzzle' - all utilizing today's most progressive takes on finger tapping. The exercises are written in guitar tablature format to best expose the techniques involved. They are all done in standard tuning (E, A, D, G, B, E)."
