Sarah Command of The Command Sisters stopped by the Acoustic Nation studio.
Lucky for us she consented to share some tips on percussive acoustic guitar.
She’ll run you through some of the slapping and tapping techniques used in Andy McKee’s “Drifting.”
She tunes her guitar to a D tuning except she leaves the G string alone: D, A, D, G, A, D.
