I say that you didn't invent it you discoverd it!
Who is that chick who's supposed to have discoverd 8 finger tapping?? Do any of you use your tapping finger to bend a note? It can sound quite good.

i disagree i'm afraid... some one, tought of that technique and then excuted it...
It's like saying that cars were never invented, becuase those elements existed before, and some one discovered that particular arrangement to give a car... Lol, but i think that's a good parrallel.
Well, i've begun tapping, and i've come up with something fairly cool, and it's pretty fast too... you'r fretting hand taps normally. But on your index finger on your other hand, you put a glass slide, and tap with it.
it's wierd, cos you get very rapid increases and decreases in pitch, if you tap with slide so that the pick up is in between your slide, and the fret board...
I've expalined it badly, i'll have to record it, and post it.

I saw a kid doing that in '97, a local band,can't say it was great but,
Jennifer Batten gets credit for advancing the 8 finger thng,but Jeff Watson of Night Ranger,would tell us differnet.Of course he was on record first in '84's"You Can Still Rock n America".there's a whole slew of 8 finger stuff going,it's like 64th notes.
CAKE or DEATH????

Ummmmmmm,Cake Please,,Oh,It's Very Nice.
