	Tapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tapping is executed by using the fingers of one hand to "tap" the strings against the fingerboard, sounding notes.
		Tapping usually incorporates pull-offs as well, where the finger that just struck the fingerboard to sound a note is then swept off with enough lateral motion to sound that same string again — this time on a lower note than the tap (fretted by another finger before the pull-off, or simply left open).
		The Chapman Stick is an instrument built primarily for tapping, and is based on a two-handed tapping technique invented in 1969 by Emmett Chapman where each hand approaches the fretboard with the fingers aligned parallel to the frets.

	Finger Tapping on a Guitar
		Finger tapping refers to the technique used by guitarists when they tap the strings with their fingers to play a note or riff.
		The concept of finger tapping is simple - set the string into motion by tapping on the string at the frets you want to sound without the use of the plectrum.
		Left or right-handed tapping refers to when the guitarist uses solely his left/right hand to play a riff.

		Photographs showing the abnormal movements of the middle finger associated with Pattern 2 as the index finger is (A) raised and (B) lowered during tapping.
		Instead of having the patient tap five consecutive trials with their preferred hand, they were given three trials with the preferred hand first, followed by three trials with the nonpreferred or nondominant hand.
		The speed of finger tapping was slower in the brain dysfunctional patients than in the control subjects in both the dominant and the nondominant hands when demographically corrected T-scores were compared (Table 2).

		Together, these studies suggested that the speed of finger tapping may be a useful marker of severity of TBI and perhaps of the initial level and depth of disturbed consciousness.
		In their study, the mean speed of finger tapping in the unemployed epileptic patients was 41 taps/10 sec in the dominant hand and 36 taps/10 sec in the nondominant hand.
		Developmental data show that the mean speed of finger tapping with the dominant hand for individuals between 20 and 39 years old is 49.7 taps/10 sec and 47.0 taps/10 sec with the nondominant hand.

	Guitar/Tapping - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		Tapping is the short name of fretboard tapping or finger tapping: the act of tapping the fingers against the strings in order to produce sounds, rather than striking or plucking the strings.
		Specifically, it usually refers to two-handed tapping, that is, tapping involving both the left and right hand.
		A rather different kind of tapping, which is a whole playing style rather than a technique, was probably discovered by Jimmy Webster but is used primarily by Stanley Jordan, who is currently the style's only virtuoso.

	NASPSPA Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The components of stationary tapping, press time and intertap interval, can also be analyzed in terms of these neuromuscular and between-subject factors, and thus can be used to clarify the effect of these factors on total tapping performance in older adults.
		Changes across the five, 5 s blocks of tapping revealed warm-up and fatigue effects, with the first 5 s indicating a warm-up, the second 5 s a time of maximum tapping speed, and the remaining three 5 s block scores decreasing in tapping performance due to fatigue.
		Although women generated fewer total taps than men, they did maintain finger and foot tapping performance close to their male counterparts suggesting that there are relatively few major gender differences in central processing speed as measured by speeded stationary tapping.

	We've got rhythm: Research into finger-tapping reveals how a presumed internal mechanism guides motor actions
		Repp studied how eight people adjusted their tapping in response to 1-2 percent changes (which are very difficult to detect, and therefore considered subliminal) in a series of pulsing tones from a digital piano.
		Subjects tapped a key on a silent piano keyboard in or out of synchrony with the tones, as instructed, and made successful adjustments -- a process called "phase correction" -- in response to subliminal timing changes.
		Repp found that subjects adjusted their tapping whether they were instructed to go with or against (syncopating) the beat.

		To properly unload this four-notes-per-string line, all you gotta do is tap the highest note positioned along each string, use your fret-hand to finish off the remaining three notres, then move the pattern to the next higher string, targetting the interval specified (a “tritone,” or “augmented fourth/flatted fifth”).
		This next gnarly pattern involves variations on a “mirror” fingering approach—where notes tapped on the highest frets are pulled off to pitches an octave lower along the same string.
		Notice that each individual tap is “echoed” immediately afterward with a pull-off to a “pre-fretted” note, exactly one octave lower (the distance of 12 frets).

	Glenn Gould and finger tapping
		Many people are aware that Glenn Gould indulged in the arcane practice of “finger tapping” and that he believed this developed and maintained his amazingly refined and agile finger technique.
		Godowski told his pupils that the whole hand should remain relaxed in virtuoso fingerwork “as though it had fainted” and that the fingers were moved by tiny sparks of energy which allowed the fingers to return to the relaxed state instantly.
		The key point is that tapping the finger forces it to mimic the coordination that would be caused by using the intrinsic muscles of the hand (i.e.

	Tapping the finger points and the value of a hug
		Rather, I suspect that tapping on the EFT shortcut points sends balancing energy down ALL those intertwined and interconnected meridians and that is why it is not necessary to tap the finger points directly.
		Also, when you tap you are doing so with two of your fingertips thereby sending energy down those meridians as well as the meridians on which you are tapping.
		If you achieve results tapping on the finger points, by all means do it.
