This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report2 times. The weeks in which this happened:
The current section on tapping (essentially) credits Steve Hackett with invention of the tapping technique.
However, this contradicts the much more thorough account in the specific article, which is backed with a number of solid sources. The current texts of the EVH article largely results from a series of edits in 2019 that first added Hackett (probably correctly) as a direct influence on EVH, and then removed as unsourced the references for earlier users of the technique. It would be good if someone better knowledgeable of the history of guitar techniques revised the section, which now gives a distorted view of a much older innovation (in a sense going back at least to Niccolo Paganini on the violin and several players on the guitar).

So, the deletopedias removed a couple of my edits. But they leave stuff in that makes no sense. "According to him, as a teen he often practiced while walking around at home with his guitar strapped on, or sitting in his room for hours with the door locked." The sources cited do not say he was in his room. And there's no mention of any locked door in them either. It would also not make sense since the house had 2 bedrooms. One for the parents and one the boys shared. So it'd be "their" bedroom and no lock. That also matches the souces cited that say Alex left to go partying and would find Ed sitting on the same spot on the bed when he returned. Kindly check and correct. 108.204.18.240 (talk) 14:30, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
