I like it...but it's been done. He's a great technical player but hardly original. Do check out the true master of that technique (most likely one of the originators...Michael Hedges probably being the first well known slapper).. Preston Reed. Wizard. He was doing that probably when Andy was in his diapers. And..he takes it a lot further. I took lessons with him once...learned enough to know I don't like slapping my guitar.

For another great slap tap player, check out this cat Flutterplucker. I "discovered" him on a street corner in Montreal, he has a CD, I don't know if it's on Amazon or the like. I can highly recommend it. I can burn it for you if you can't find it. He plays the guitar always 2 handed, but on his lap.

Now for another guy whom I just linked offa Sterling's site click on Petteri Sariola from Finland. He'll blow your mind.
