Tutorial at 0:14 Alright, let's learn it. Super beginner friendly. Best Deftones song of them all. And if you disagree, I would love to know what you think is the best, but man, Cherry Waves, all the larping. You're larping. Okay, this is the best one. Now we're gonna not be picking it all with the right hand. We're only tapping in this song. So it's a good way to learn too. It's much easier than it looks. So you literally smack your finger down the 12th fret of the A string to make the note ring out. You don't pick it with your right hand. You smack 12, 13, then you grab the 15th fret with your other hand on the D string, tap it hard with your other hand on the D string. The 12 keeps 12, 13 thing keeps going. Repeating over and over again. And we go 15, 17, 19 on the D string. Then we go 17, 19 on the G string. So it sounds like this real slow. So that's it. I mean, that's it. Have fun.
