Tapping refers to using the picking hand to hammer-on notes, usually involving arpeggiating a chord using all legato techniques on a single string. It is generally used as a speed technique, as it can be used to cleanly play a rapid succession of notes. It was made popular by Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads but is common for most lead players now.
