I found a video on youtube showing a man named Andres Godoy playing a tune here:

Hopefully this will inspire all of the individuals with only 1 available arm and hand.

I can't really beat this guy up - but he just spanked me into picking up all of my tappers!

Thanks for sharing that - it was important to see.

Auke , a member of Tappistry (Igos du Iskana), plays one-handed. You can see a picture of him on the thread: DBAs and hair metal

BTW, I found another video (better one IMO) of him. There is plenty you can do even with one hand IMO:

Thanks for the vids. Very inspiring.

First thing im thinking is what kind of pickup system is he using.

And second, isn't it time that someone begins to produce 12 string two handed acoustic tappers? (yeah, i know about the acoustick... )

Wow, that was amazing! It's quite rare to find video's of one-handed tappers. let alone good tappers! I'm impressed by his ability to use undampend strings, those ringing open notes make it sound much more full. It's educative to see him using his hand in numerous ways to pluck, strum and tap notes, THATS inspirational :cool:
I think i'm going to log off now and make some music :D :

That one armed bassist has such a punchy tone. Very inspirational that he can acheive that tone while tapping.

Thanks for that.
