Two handed tapping is a lot more common for the bass. Probably because a lot more virtuosic solo playing leads to that. There’s so much diversity with what you can do with guitar when you reach a proficient level that that style of playing’s relative uselessness for ensemble work causes it to be not as common? Just a guess
Anyone else spend their whole life wishing they had learned to play guitar?
Never too late to learn! Probably one of the easiest instruments to get into with popularity and relative cheapness of entry level instruments
I think it's okay for me to share this, but my former guitar teacher is running free guitar workshops via zoom on Wednesdays 7-8

He's a super cool guy and very amenable to leftist ideas (although he's not one for a pro-china struggle session)
Been a lot longer for me. I keep telling myself that I'm going to try again though... one of these days.
I dream of learning to play like John Fahey someday. Maybe once I have some stuff made I'll learn guitar.
Damn, this is tight. Is that San Holo like the EDM artist? Anyways, the snare tuning is :zizek-ok: and I really dig those little rolls around 2:20.
Maybe he's on drums? Lots of DnB guys are pretty great at playing kit too, like the Pendulum drummer or Netsky.
this was actually the first tapping-based math rock song i learned, yvette's riffs are surprisingly playable
unlike my boi daijiro
So the main difference to me is that Jyocho (and much of Daijiro's stuff) is based around index-pinky taps on the left hand and index-middle taps on the right (so more fingers involved, and often wider hand spreads)
Yvette writes good riffs, especially on this album, Effloresce, she just plays in a different style (edit: realized I never finished this sentence, sorry I'm distracted since I'm browsing chapo during a union meeting minutes-approving)
And that hand shift/flip is absolutely a flex (you can pretty much play it the same without doing it)
Nito is all about the flex, and he plays really well (although his song writing isn't my thing)
There are full tabs for a couple of Jyocho's tracks and once you realize that he always uses DADGAd (Open Dsus4) for every Jyocho track it gets easier to figure them out (although his old band, Uchu Conbini, often uses DADF#Ad/open D)
Also, Open Dsus4 is a really good blues/folk tuning as well (since it's not fully major or minor)
Also sick union flex edit I’m not in one AND you’re probably better at math rock than my wtf what’s next you’re also a trained chamber singer that can do 4 octaves
Lol no, I'm a pretty poor singer (can't quite get my voice to do what I want), and you will definitely get gud/better if you keep practicing!
Ooh nice, thanks for the rec!
You'd probably like Ichiko Aoba , she's another effortless folk guitarist/singer
Her new album is amazing
And non-standard tunings are the best, although sometimes I end up circling back to standard because I just want to play some Deafheaven
