hey adam, i tried doing 8 hand tapping on my les paul but i find it close to impossible since my guitar is not touch- sensitive enough (my action is really low but i have to really push hard into the strings to make a sound and even if i do, i don't get a clear sound. it seems like i can only do it the easy way (ie. 2 fingers lol)). what can i do to my guitar to make it more responsive to 8 hand tapping? any tips or advice you can give?
"Lets see… well I play the guitar and when I'm not playing the guitar, I think about playing the guitar. My other favorite instrument, is the guitar and if I aspired to play any other instrument, it would be the guitar...

I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"
