This week we’re going to look at a 6 finger Tapping lick that is often associated with the likes of Steve Lynch, Nuno Bettencourt. Not to mention more modern players such as Andy James & Rusty Cooley. This tapping lick uses 3 fingers on your right hand and 3 fingers on your left hand.

I find this six finger tapping lick easiest to tap with index, middle and ring fingers on your picking hand. You can then execute hammer-ons and pull-offs on the fretboard hand with index, middle and pinky fingers. I believe in playing however you are most comfortable, so if you find a different finger combination works better for you then go with that.
