Are you an Absolute Beginner?

You’re an absolute beginner. You can’t read and you can’t play…

No problem. The beginners class can accept people from various backgrounds. You might find absolute beginners in music but also trained readers on another instrument who begin the tap-guitar, or t-g virtuoso who cannot read and wish to do it, and so on. After say, 2 days in the beginners class you may ask to go to the intermediate class. There are also special afternoon classes and private tuition available to satisfy your individual needs.

You play the Brand X tap-guitar, you’re tuned in the Y way, and you play only Z music.

Welcome! The Seminar is open. It aims to to teach general techniques of playing, reading, and understanding music for the tap-guitar. Your options will be respected and the methods you will learn are general and adaptable to all situations.

You don’t have a tap-guitar …

No problem. You can bring a simple electric guitar if you wish. The E-Tap, Brussels school, can by special arrangement also lend you a tap-guitar for the week.

The classes are all equipped with a mix desk and a small PA. There are also some guitar amps. Therefore those who come by plane or train do not need to bring an amp. Those who come by car might as well bring an amp if they wish to have their own sound, or just help the seminar.

However it would be best to bring your own personal practice amp to use in between the courses or in the evening. This might be a small mini- or a batery driven micro-amp. There are also some devices with headphones, which you can carry on your belt and which are very handy.

Enrollment is filling up fast. Sign up and grab your spot. If you act quickly you’ll avoid disappointment.

[A note from Traktor ... This is about the most fun seminar I've ever attended in my life. You'll have fun meeting tappers from many different countries, and it's really cool to have all different kinds of tapping instruments in a spirit of learning and growing together. Plus, let's be frank here. Belgium has some of the best beer in the universe. Nuff said.]

New Video — Demo and Music on TrueTapper Eclipse

Filed under: Easy Touch-Style Method, Eclipse, Guitar Rig, Space Station, TrueTapper, Video, YouTube, music — admin at 11:14 am on Saturday, September 22, 2007

Good News!

Now available online — an instrument demo, with songs, to provide an overview of how the instrument is made, so that you can see and hear it in use. The video not only shows how easy it can be to play two-handed touch-style, but displays our most basic instrument, the TrueTapper Eclipse.

The Eclipse is a high-end, quality instrument with brilliant sound, so that any professional musician can feel completely comfortable using it for studio recording, with all essential high-end features included. However, the Eclipse is priced so affordably that any student with a summer job can obtain the instrument.

The video also shows U.S. Manager Traktor Topaz playing two songs. (The second song is an improvisation on the same chords as the first song.) This performance shows several of the techniques that are easily learned using our ‘Easy Touch-Style Method.’

And so, for your elucidation and entertainment, we present –


PS: This is the same instrument that was used in the earlier ‘Easy Touch-Style Method’ video. However, this video was not recorded on the Mobius Space Station, which had been rented out for a party for Google executives.
