Editing Tapping (section)

===One-handed tapping===
One-handed tapping, performed in conjunction with normal fingering by the fretting hand, facilitates the construction of note [[interval (music)|intervals]] that would otherwise be impossible using one hand alone. It is often used as a special effect during a shredding solo. With the electric guitar, in this situation the output tone itself is usually [[distortion (guitar)|overdriven]] — although it is possible to tap acoustically — with drive serving as a boost to further amplify the non-picked (and thus naturally weaker) legato notes being played.

The overall aim is to maintain fluidity and synchronization between all the notes, especially when played at speed, which can take extensive practice to master.
