Jean Marc Belkadi's latest article in
Guitar Player Magazine

Just when you think you’ve seen every possible tapping lick imaginable, Los
Angeles guitar coach par excellence Jean-Marc Belkadi comes through with this
refreshing two-handed texture. And yes, like all great tapping licks, it’s easy to
play once the moves are memorized. Start by slowly looping the lick’s first two
beats, launching from the sixteenth-note pickup (8th fret, sixth string)
hammered by the fretting hand, and revel in the multi-octave C major flurry that
fills the air. Bar 2 shifts the same fingering up a string to sound F major.
(Extra credit: Can you change the harmony to minor? Dominant 7?)

"I also took lessons from players such as
Jean-Marc Belkadi and T.J. Helmerich.
It was like
Guitar University here!
And I worked with
Brett Garsed,
who showed me how to incorporate the fingers
of my picking hand to get to some of the wide
intervals in Frank’s music that I couldn’t get to
with a pick. I use that technique to play “Black
Page #2.” I also took some lessons from the late
Ted Greene to round out my knowledge
of chords and harmony.

"The brilliant Los Angeles guitarist and
instructor Jean-Marc Belkadi has, as he’s done
with so many guitar approaches, refined dozens
of cool ways to use pentatonics. One thing he
likes his students to explore is stringskipping
lines such as Ex. 12. And, as shown in Ex. 13,
Belkadi often handles string skips the smart,
convenient, “hybrid” way—by plucking the
higher string with the picking hand’s middle
finger. Notice that this last example has a
hemiolic three-against-four pick/hammer/pluck
cycle. Keep it in 4/4 (i.e., don’t lose track of the
downbeats), and it will retain its jagged,
unpredictable sound." page 93
