#10 Basic Tapping Using the A minor Pentatonic Scale - In this lesson I am going to show you how to perform bi-dextral hammer-ons and pull-offs, this technique is commonly known as tapping. Tapping is essentially just performing hammer-ons and pull-offs with the left and right hands at the same time. The biggest question I get from my guitar students is; “How do I know what notes to tap?”
#9 Guitar Finger Building Exercise - Etude of Technique - In this lesson we are going to work those little digits of yours using arpeggios, hammer-ons and Pull-offs, and pivoting.
#8 Guitar Lesson- Circle of Fourths Chord Progressions - Chord progressions using the circle of fourths are popular in all musical styles. Starting from the first chord in the progression, each subsequent chord will be a fourth higher in the key. The circle of fourths utilizes every chord in the key, playing through them one by one.

To help you start to view the neck in this manor I’m going to show you a few of Kiko’s signature arpeggio scale combination patterns.
