  1. It's not easy for me to criticize younger musicians, but there's a big difference between music and a fetish. I'm not hearing anything I haven't heard before, and except for the extra two strings, nothing I haven't played. "Someone comes up with two-handed tapping". Did you think Eddie, not every other guitarist who "tapped", including violinists from the beginning of violins? Closer strings allow easier contanct for fingers and picks, but I'm hearing this young man talk himself into musical irrelevance, if he expects to be a band player. I just had a thought. This man might be left-handed but he doesn't know it. And please, no North American rock musician ever added anything creative to music. It was all about loud volume and new electronic sounds. You can't say a hard rock trio, with no rhythm or chordal backup, can be considered serious music, unless you are appropriately stoned.
