I remember when I tried impress on my cousin who basiclly never heard anything else than Yugoslavian folk music, I played Surfin´ With Alien and when I came to the fast tapping part he was like o my god but than when I played other harder parts in the song he still liked the tapping stuff most.
Funny thing is than almost nobody (who don´t know anything about guitar playn´) never gets imoressed by fast alternate picking. I mean among guitar players alternate stuff is HUGE, but I guess that it just isn´t flashy enough.
