tapping's an art form as far as I'm concerned because it holds a pattern. Imagine - there's two gys playing the piano. One of them is doing repeated chord sequences very quickly, changing them in unison with the melodic chord sequences... (representing tapping,)
and the other's just going up, and down, and up, and down holding the same key, and smashing a rigid line through the harmony of the background... making it so that the music only really sound correct when IT molds ITSELF to suit him. (i.e. Shred.)
I just don't get it really. Fine it's all very good having quick legato and a picking style that would show that you could give a woman a very... very good time, but really guys. Really think about it - impressive, maybe. Famous, maybe... but it kind of defies the point no?
Lyrics: a waste of time between solos.
