Percussive fingerstyle guitar has captured the imagination of acoustic guitarists around the world. From classic acoustic players like Michael Hedges to modern groundbreakers like Mike Dawes, percussive technique has opened up new possibilities for the acoustic guitar.
It’s difficult to learn this style through tab or sheet music. So much of the technique relies on the nuance of the player and the physical approach they take. This means the way to learn is to simply watch, copy their movements, and practice …and practice …and practice…
Several iconic players, and a few up and comers, have taken the time to record lessons specifically covering their percussive fingerstyle guitar style. These video lessons allow you to watch and copy, and of course provide helpful commentary and explanation from the players.

The riff “The percussive part I am showing you in this tutorial is taken from my song “Memories”. It includes several techniques like body percussion, slap harmonics and legato playing. The riff looks more difficult to play than it actually is and it makes a lot of fun to play. In the tutorial I show you how to play it step-by-step. You can download the Guitar Pro 6 files as well. Percussion in tabs When it comes to notating percussive elements in tabs the most common method is to indicate the percussive hits with “X’s”. Hereby, the X’s on the higher strings (eg. G, B, E) can indicate a higher pitch than X’s notated on the lower strings (eg. E, A, D). An alternative method is to position the X’s parallel to the location the percussive elements are performed at on the guitar. In this case hitting the guitar’s lower parts, for example the lower side of the body would be be indicated with and X on the high E string. Hitting the guitar on Top would then be indicated with an X on the low E string. However, the indication of percussive elements can drastically vary from guitarist to guitarist and song to song. Thus, it is best to compare the tabs with ideally the video to see where the percussion is played at exactly.” – Tobias Rauscher
Tobias Rauscher is a 29 year old German Modern Percussive Fingerstyle guitar player and part of the modern acoustic guitar movement that is led by players like Andy McKee and Tommy Emmanuel.

Sharing his passion for guitar and music is one of his main interests. In his free time, Thomas is also a composer and drummer of the band The Foxy Raccoons.Thanks to Chuck Berry, the backbeat (the accented second and fourth beats in common time) is forever associated with rock ’n’ roll. It has worked its way into almost all forms of popular music and can be a very effective way of adding some punch to an acoustic guitar part. By using simple percussive techniques, you can add a bit more groove to both accompaniment patterns and instrumentals.
The Percussive Acoustic Guitar Method By Miguel Rivera
Let’s start with a basic exercise. In Example 1, play the open fifth string on beats 1 and 3 with your thumb. On beats 2 and 4, bring the tips of your picking hand’s thumb and fingers down on strings 3–5. Instead of strumming across the strings, slap your fingers straight down toward the body of the guitar. If you land on the strings forcefully enough, they will slap against the neck, creating a snare drum–like sound. Spend some time playing this simple pattern with a metronome or drum machine until the technique feels comfortable.
Example 2 adds a three-note A chord on beats 1 and 3. Play it fingerstyle, using your thumb, index, and middle fingers. As with Ex. 1, slap the strings with your fingers as they return to position to play the next chord. Once you’re comfortable with this basic technique, try Example 3, which introduces a little syncopation. Slide from the fourth to the fifth
