Music Lessons in method books and newletters produced by Mobius Megatar convey musical information about the 'touch-style' method of two-handed tapping for playing electric guitars and electric basses, originally invented in the 1950's by Jimmie Webster and Dave Bunker, and refined by many musicians ever since. See 'History of Touch-Style' on our website for more information. Method books and newsletters produced by Mobius Megatar convey musical instruction which is applicable to two-handed tapping on multi-stringed guitars and basses, and on megatars (instruments containing a set of strings for bass and a set of strings for melody) tuned in fourths, and for megatars whose bass is tuned in inverted fifths. The 'Easy Touch-Style Bassics' method teaches one method which works on differently-tuned instruments.
