Tap

This technique involves striking the strings directly with the fingers of the left hand on the fingerboard, causing the string to vibrate and sound the note without needing to pluck it with the right hand.

The strike can be performed with different degrees of intensity, affecting both the attack and the clarity and projection of the note. The technique allows notes to be produced independently with the left hand and can be used both to articulate isolated notes and to play fast passages, or combined with other articulation techniques.
