"... two hand tap acoustic guitarrists,... since Michael Hedges invented it." Heges was brilliant,inspiring etc. But definately didn't invent tapping. My friend Paul Prince,(an excellent guitarist,prolly the first to apply tapping to African guitar styles) told me about sitting with Hedges at the old Varsity Theater, in Palo Alto ( sort of the clubhouse for Windam Hill) listening to Tuck Andreas,who was tapping and Hedges saying "that's it" He got the idea from Tuck. But maybe you meat Hedges picku system,which wa highly worked out,esp fro his modern harp guitar.
