Right hand tapping

Tapping notation

Internet tab

The hammer-on or "tap" with your right hand is indicated with a "t" before the note. Pull-offs from your right hand are indicated with a "p", like a normal pull-off. Another way that you may see right hand tapping notated, is a "+" above the tapped note, along with any of the variations of hammer-on and pull-off notation
