That's a perfect description for the unique style and technique of this evolving genre by guitar. You may have introduced what will become referred to as "The F.T.S. Technique". I've been watching an upcoming Canadian guitarist named Erik Mongrain. Incredible!!!!!!!!!!! Here's a link to his composition "Air Tap"

Although I like Tapping techniques, it needs to be structured with a balance of dissonance to keep me interested, yet, not overdone. This song by Erik named "Timeless" is one to check out for sure (no tapping, just fingering and slapping on this one), what a gifted musician............
