All About Tapping 57: Chord Tapping
In order to pull this one off, it's going to require some explanation during
the tabs or it's not going to make much sense.
It's also going to require some big time practicing on your part.
(Figure on spending numerous hours figuring it out and practicing it, getting all
the palm muting and damping down and developing the tapping technique)
I'm going to seperate each individual part into separate bars or sections so
you can tackle each section one at a time.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the GuitarTricks website template I'm using
here won't allow apostrophes or other unusual characters within the tab text
itself. So if you see me using unusually formal language below, like "it is"
instead of "it's"... or "do not" instead of "don't", it's not just cause I'm British...or Canadian or whatever ...
I have to do it that way or I end up with stuff like %$?$%

1 2 3 [1] [2] ... hold the Em chord
The begining of this one is almost the same as the last 3 tricks we just did.
(Harmony Tap 1, 2 and 3)
You still start with holding an Em chord, but have to tap the first three
notes first.
In order to get the leverage you need to tap the first three notes, lift your hand enough to sharply tap them with your left hand and then continue on with your left hand getting into place, forming a barred Em chord with your left, while your right hand taps the next two notes, then release those two notes by pulling upwards (or downwards*) with those two fingers to play the full Em chord.

Regarding the above stuff... (ie the [2] over top of the
[1]). All that is showing is you are using your first and
second fingers to tap the notes at the same time.

...what the heck is that part in the middle??
Pretty simple really... when you tap the upper part with
your right hand, simultaneously tap the bass note twice on the
6th string, 6th fret, with the second finger of your left hand.
Also... just before you play the last 3 notes,
quickly mute all the strings with your right hand palm or
you end up with open notes ringing on all over the place.

ok...this part starts by tapping the first three notes....then as you continue
tapping with the right hand, your left hand is moving into place to form
an Am chord...
Pull off downward with your first finger, then strum a barred C chord with
your thumb (or first finger).
The next set of tapping that moves through strings 6 to 1 is basically just
tapping out that same C chord shape with your left hand, and tapping on
the 12th fret with your right. On the very last note of this bar, hold the tapped
12th fret note and let it ring on while you move your left hand into position to
repeat the Esus2 riff again...

chord rings on.
