One of the members was recently talking about The Band Metallica I am not a “heavy metal”fan but I thought I’d take a look at the song to see what he was talking about; “One” by Metallica. First off it is 18 pages of music, and it wasn’t what I had imagined. It actually looked pretty interesting.On page 8 it has some “pick tapping”. I kinda remember Steve talking about tapping in session 14. Here it said to use  the edge of the  pick and not your finger. That got my attention. So I had to google pick tapping to see what exactly was happening using this method..There we’re a few videos on “pick tapping” and the videos explained how they were using a pick instead of a finger which was interesting because it eliminates the need to magically get the pick out of the way when transitioning to tapping.However since I never really tried tapping I started looking for a beginner lesson and found a Fender Play video that gave some history and discussed the  basic tapping technique in more detail.
