as far as the tapping goes it is easy, i cant play it, but as far as tapping you got only a few notes. the rest is hammer ons and pull offs.

Well, that one song of mine that has the tapping section is fairly easy to play. you can try that if you want. the tab is in the thread. And Trace Bundy uses alot mor left handed tapping. You might wanna try someone else, I just can really think of easy ones.

As far as polyphonic tapping on an acoustic guitar goes, Trace's stuff is the easiest I've heard. No offense to him, but the stuff by other players who tap well (Preston Reed, Don Ross, Billy McLaughlin, etc.), is much, much harder.

Try taking the Trace Bundy tunes at about half the tempo he plays them at and slowly work your way up, or make up your own exercises. There's not really a whole lot of instructional material around for it.

exactly justin king has 10 fingers on his fretboard, bundy will have like maybe 5 using both hands on his at a time, Ross uses all 10, many do it that way. bundy does the hammer ons and pull offs that actually you could loop with his left hand, then does those little bass notes tapping.

Don't worry about songs. Try making up your own riffs. Besides I don't really know of any "begginer" tapping songs. Usually a song that has tapping in it will be somewhat technically involved.
