Hello guys, I just want to ask if it is possible to "tap" on an acoustic guitar unplugged, I play the guitar for 3 years now just focused playing on the legato technique, and Im learning to tap. The problem is I dont seem to hear the notes Im playing on an acoustic guitar, I can hear the hammer ons and pull offs but the tapped notes seems to be dead. I tried it on electric it works but not on acoustic. Does tapping only works on electric distortion?, Im new to this technique so I dont have any idea, I really need expert advice especially from those who are experienced on tapping. Thanx. :)
