GUEST,Bouzouki boy Tapped Guitar. Opinions ? (70* d) RE: Tapped Guitar. Opinions ? 21 Mar 07


One of the top music videos on YouTube at the moment is entitled "Drifting" and is performed by a young guy from Texas called Andy McKee. "Drifting" really is a nice tune to listen to, as well as being an acoustic tapping tour de force. McKee is a highly tasteful, melodic, and inventive player. "Drifting" is the only fully tapped piece he does and is well worth checking out. Some of the comments on here about using tapping as a means to give a false impression of superior skill, or some has-been wouldn't have approved of it and so neither do I, reek heavily of the green-eyed monster. The acoustic tapping movement is beginning to take off and will probably meet the same demise as the electric tapping movement did. Hopefully, there will be as many exciting moments along the way.
