Tapping (other)
Tapping is a playing technique that can be used on any stringed instrument, but which is most commonly used on guitar. The technique involves a string being fretted and set into vibration as part of a single motion. This is in contrast to standard techniques that involve fretting with one hand and picking with the other. Tapping is the primary technique intended for instruments such as the Chapman Stick. Description Tapping is an extended technique, executed by using either hand to 'tap' the strings against the fingerboard, thus producing legato notes. Tapping generally incorporates pull-offs or hammer-ons. For example, a right-handed guitarist might press down abruptly ("hammer") onto fret twelve with the index finger of the right hand and, in the motion of removing that finger, pluck ("pull") the same string already fretted at the eighth fret by the little finger of their left hand. This finger would be removed in the same way, pulling off to the fifth fret. Thus the three ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Erik Mongrain-AirTap
The given name Eric, Erich, Erikk, Erik, Erick, Eirik, or Eiríkur is derived from the Old Norse name ''Eiríkr'' (or ''Eríkr'' in Old East Norse due to monophthongization). The first element, ''ei-'' may be derived from the older Proto-Norse language, Proto-Norse ''*wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/ainaz, aina(z)'', meaning "one, alone, unique", ''as in the form'' ''Æ∆inrikr'' explicitly, but it could also be from ''*wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/aiwaz, aiwa(z)'' "everlasting, eternity", as in the Gothic form ''Euric''. The second element ''-wikt:ríkr, ríkr'' stems either from Proto-Germanic language, Proto-Germanic ''*wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/rīks, ríks'' "king, ruler" (cf. Gothic ''wikt:𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐍃, reiks'') or the therefrom derived ''*wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/rīkijaz, ríkijaz'' "kingly, powerful, rich, prince"; from the common Proto-Indo-European language, Proto-Indo-European root *wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/h₃r� ...

Harpejji
The harpejji ( ) is an Electric instrument, electric stringed musical instrument developed in 2007 by American audio engineer Tim Meeks. It has been described by its manufacturer as a cross between a piano and a guitar, and by Jacob Collier as a cross between an accordion and a pedal steel guitar. The playing surface has a layout arranged in ascending whole tones across strings, and ascending semi-tones as the strings travel away from the player, with the 24-string models featuring a five-octave range from A (musical note)#Designation by octave, A0 to A (musical note)#Designation by octave, A5. Harpejjis use an electronic muting system to dampen Fret, unfretted strings and minimize the impact of sympathetic vibrations. About 500 harpejjis had been made as of 2019. The harpejji is a descendant of the StarrBoard which was developed in the 1980s. Its name is a portmanteau from "harp" and "arpeggio". Technique It is primarily played with a Tapping, two-handed tapping technique. It ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
