Pedal-Point
 
Pedal point, also called "pivotting" is a technique where you keep returning to some base note, for instance:
 
          32, 31, 37, 36, 35, 34, 33  (always returning to 3)
 
        21, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22  (always returning to 2)

Finger-Tapping
Finger-Tapping is a technique where you play scales or arpeggios with your left hand and hammer-on (ie, "tap") one or more additional notes with your right hand (I use my index finger). I particularly like to use notes that are all right next to each other in a row for the right-hand notes as this is easier to do and less prone to mistakes than trying to find notes that are scattered all around:
