Take your guitar solos to the next level with this awe-inspiring tapping lick

As guitarists, we’re all constantly striving to improve our abilities, and this lesson video is sure to do just that, as it combines three essential techniques in one impressive lick.

In this guitar lesson, Elixir Strings artist Micky Crystal takes you through a blazing fast lead line that incorporates legato, tapping and string skipping.

Throughout the clip, Mickey takes you through each section at a slower tempo, so you can work your way up to top speed.

Micky Crystal, guitarist for Tygers of Pan Tang, uses Elixir Electric Strings with OPTIWEB Coating for all his playing - whether on stage, in the studio or in the practice room.

Elixir Optiweb Coating makes sure players can enjoy the crisp tone and natural feel they like for a long, long time, because the featherweight coating protects not just the wrap wire but the entire string - including the gaps between the windings - so your guitar sounds and feels fresh for longer.
