Bach's Inventions
Bouree in Emin
Sonata in Amin
All of his preludes

Moonlight Sonata
The Mario Song
My Star Wars Theme
Linus and Lucy
The Zelda Theme
Sexually Active

Just listen to some piano dude. That's all you gotta do.

BTW, In my opinion: Victor Wooten isn't all too impressive at touchstyle.

If you have the general "sweeping arpeggio" tapping style down, you're well on your way.

You can extend your skill at polyrhythms by doing those arpeggios with ONE hand, while playing a more simplistic melody above/below it.

Which is basically how I practice my touchstyle, I sweep arpeggios two handed, then switch into moving around the chords with one hand, and adding a melody above the chords.

Although, another technique I like to use for learning classical songs is what I call "scale running arpeggios." In which case you add three note chromatic melodies inbetween running arpeggios.

No, they aren't...but I probably should post some I guess. I havn't written a lesson in a while.

I had a bunch of lessons posted on my touchstyle technique a while back, but they were deleted in the site renewal.

I thought your lessons on tapped harmonics and such were pretty nifty, sade.
