Does this sound familiar?

  • Struggling to play clean, defined notes when finger tapping
  • Unsure how to set up your guitar or dial in the perfect tapping tone
  • Feeling overwhelmed by finger tapping riffs and not knowing where to start
  • Frustrated with messy technique and inconsistent sound

If so, you’re not alone. These are challenges many guitarists face when learning finger tapping, especially in math rock.
When I first started learning finger tapping, it felt impossible. My notes sounded messy, my fingers ached, and I had no idea how to make it sound clean. But after years of trial and error, I figured out the key: proper setup, focused exercises, and a clean technique.

I’ve worked with countless guitarists who’ve faced the same struggles, and I’ve turned my experiences into this course to save you the frustration and get you tapping confidently.
Finger tapping is a foundational technique in math rock and Midwest emo, but it can be tough to learn without guidance. That’s why I created this course to help you:

  • Develop clean, injury-free technique with step-by-step guidance.
  • Build strength and dexterity with targeted exercises.
  • Learn to set up your guitar and rig for the perfect tapping tone.
  • Apply your skills with real-world riffs and examples from math rock and Midwest emo.

Learning math rock finger tapping doesn't have to be difficult

If we haven’t met before – hi, I’m Steve. Hope you're doing well. 👋

I’ve been playing guitar for over two decades and teaching math rock and Midwest emo guitar techniques on YouTube for years.

Finger tapping was one of the first math rock techniques that caught my attention, but when I started learning it, I had no idea where to begin. My tapping was messy, my fingers got sore, and the riffs I loved felt completely out of reach.

But after years of practice, experimenting with setups, and teaching countless students, I’ve developed a simple method to make finger tapping clean, comfortable, and achievable—even for those who think it’s too advanced.

Through lessons, surveys, and endless questions from viewers, I’ve learned exactly what guitarists struggle with most when it comes to finger tapping. That’s why I’ve created this course—to save you the frustration and confusion and help you master the fundamentals of this iconic math rock technique.

So, here’s why I created this course…

Finger tapping is one of the most fun and distinctive techniques in math rock, but it can feel intimidating if you don’t know where to start. This course takes you step-by-step through the essentials so you can develop clean, confident tapping without wasting time or energy.

In this course, you’ll learn:

  • Proper Technique: Avoid bad habits and build clean, injury-free tapping skills.
  • Strength & Dexterity: Practice 7 targeted exercises designed to build control and precision.
  • Gear Setup: Learn how to set up your guitar and rig for the perfect tapping tone.
  • Real Riffs: Test your skills by learning iconic math rock and Midwest emo finger tapping riffs.

The Transformation You’ll Experience

By the end of this course, you’ll:

  • Confidently play clean and dynamic finger tapping parts.
  • Feel comfortable using finger tapping in your own riffs and songs.
  • Understand how to set up your guitar and rig for the best sound.
  • Be ready to tackle more advanced math rock techniques.

Finger tapping doesn’t have to be overwhelming or frustrating. This course gives you the tools, techniques, and confidence to make it one of the most exciting parts of your playing.

First of all I took this course because of Steve and his incredible way to teach music theory and guitar technique. It's simple and clear, and always generous in term of content (even if we will always want more when the content is as good quality than that). I had some notions of tapping before the course, but my middle ring and pinky were weak and inconsistent, plus I didn't knew how to create melodies with tapping, that course gave me all that material to finally create my own riffs (especially with the chords + melody played at the same time). If you are looking to a course that can give you both theory and technique, for the tapping, in the unique math rock way, you are at the best place that exist. Thanks again for this course, and I can't wait for the others. Best. Sam.
