Not if you do it right.
My thoughts exactly. People just dismiss a lot of techniques outright because they haven't mastered them or even studied them in-depth. As I said, EVH in Eruption is playing Vivaldi-inspired lines. The solo is making a statement, that now these piano lines that were once very difficult on guitar can now be played with ease. The possibilities with tapping, just as with sweep picking, are many.
Back In Black isn't a song. It's a divine call that gets channeled through five righteous dudes every thousand years or so. That's why dragons and sea monsters don't exist anymore.
