    My step dad was trying to tell me that tapping is just flashy nonsense and I should stick to boxed pentatonic licks. My real dad shook his head and told me to see my uncle Ben. Thanks!

    Glad you mentioned what kind of effects you were running. I was thinking with something like this, it would be nice to know how you're getting that sound. Like....what's your volume / tone at on the guitar along with which pick-ups, etc. Just those small details that really help folks starting off how to get those sustains when you're tapping as oppose to using a pick
