Songs for 'tapping'?
Has anyone got any suggestions for songs to look into and learn that use multi fingered tapping? I know a good approach would be to learn some classical piano pieces using two hands as a pianist would, but I can't think of any songs :/
Minor songs are prefered...
Thanks,

A relatively easy song with tapping is the solo/interlude Amon Amarth's "Death in Fire". Not very hard but it's good practice, and it's an awesome fucking song to begin with. I dropped my tuning to Bb just so I could learn that and some other AA songs(and some Wormed and Vehemence).

You could look into the guy who started all this tapping by checking out Van Halen's 'Eruption' |

He didn't start it. Jazz had been incorporating tapping for awhile before him, he just got recognized for it.

But duh, this is a metal forum and Eddie is recognized as the guy who introduced or started it in this genre. Leave the jazz for the jazz forums |

Okay, Eddie is probably the first to do the type of tapping w/ the dist. and delay and flange and all that, the "metal" type of tapping.

Spastic Ink - "Multimasking"
Symphony X solos. But I guess youre not ready for string skipping tapped arpeggios, but how many of us are?

Theres not that much tapping in Shyboy i thought. But if i had to say ne thing, it would be to make up stuff that would push you limits, and even better make it into a song. I havent really learned a big song since that Scarified back in April, and many times i just sorta make up my own stuff. It always helps me like come up with new ideas. I know others have done alot of stuff that any of you make up, but doesnt it make you feel good though? I thought i was the only person who made up sweeps with 3 finger tapping, but i was wrong, and thats when i made a sweep with the 4 finger tap, but that is very hard, and i am having trouble incorporating it in a song.
But if i had to suggest something, its just make up a pattern and just run through the modes, and have like 3 fingers being use with your left and right hands. I do this constantly, and i always come up with cool sounding stuff. I am not really into learning other peoples songs unless i have too. Its much more rewarding the other route.

Definately want to check out alot of Death's stuff. There's some awesome tapping in there. Stay away from the solo's for now though.
Crystal Mountain right before the Solo.
Empty Words right before the chorus and another right before that weird chromatic riff.
Without Judgement right after the Solo. (Its slow but sounds beautiful)
Evil Dead is great and shows you how you can take a simple pattern and make it sound wonderful just by re-arranging the notes.
The Philosopher I think was already mentioned.
Yeah.

Thanks, I didn't expect this much interest and response so quickly. Yeah I'm familiar with a few of the songs suggested, and are good reminders of where to look for tapping. Back to an old question, where can I get good video hosting as my ISP doesn't support it? Will make up a few tapping videos for critique etc, as I could do with a bit of advice on hand placing for one of the riffs.

Try anything from Buckethead. That should help. It's pretty crazy multi-fingered tapping.
