Hey first post - love Govan , I saw his live webcast on lick library , and he answered a question about an arpeggio .
the song was im 99% sure was- waves and it had a tapping section very quick and an arpeggio decent.
I'm very interested in this - if you caught the webcast and know the part I mean pls let me know where in the song it is as I've looked at lots of tabs and cant find it
The theory was - he used 1 octave on the bottom e and a strings then repeated a sequence on the d and g two frets up then he returned to the postition he started in and played another sequence and ended by playing an arpegio decending
I know this is vaugue unless you saw the wecast or know this formula he uses alot in licks then dont worry
hope you can help
thanks in advanced :d

First of all, it's "Govan".
Secondly, don't write in all caps please!
And thirdly, this is quite a big guess, but, he played Sevens, Waves and Ner Ner in the webcast.
I think you're mixing Waves with Sevens. In Sevens there's a tapping part which everyone instantly goes "Holy crap look at that tapping." which I think you're on about.
Look about the forums there are tabs for it, check Levi Clay's transcriptions (look on the stickied thread at the top!) if he hasn't done that one (I forget which he's done!) there's an old thread of GG tabs around this section and I believe someone, one of the first posts, tabbed that tapping section.
If however he did some tapping in waves, there's a high chance it was improvised most renditions of Waves I've seen haven't really stuck to the recorded version.
Though who knows? When the webcast hits the internet as a recorded version people may get transcribing the webcast versions?
EDIT Sorry!
I now know what you're on about! He answered a question about the tapping lick in wonderful slippery thing. (which annoyed me, because everyone and their dog knows the theory behind that ) that's the song you're after, again there is a sticky for it, and I think Levi Clay has also transcribed it. It's probably the most covered Govan song considering he tabbed it out himself in GT magazine.
