People with this type of skilll make me ponder who was the 'inventor' of the style - Michael Hedges was my first introduction to 'heavy mental' (and two handed tapping on acoustic) music and he holds a special place in my heart. It is refreshing to see the style continues and grows. tubeperson Advanced Member Username: tubeperson Post Number: 372 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 23, 2012 - 8:28 am:    Keep in mind Stanley Jordan, and of course Emmett Chapman and the Chapman stick. That instrument is the ultimate in tapping (and a real challenge to master, but worth it). cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1273 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Thursday, August 23, 2012 - 12:44 pm:    He kept his left hand in the traditional alignment & didn't drum on the box, but I saw a vid of Chet Atkins doing the two-handed tap in the '50s. He probably learned it from someone older.

John played with melody, and speed (not too many notes). It was a performance Mr. Berry would probably have approved of.
