@creakystair Indeed, Hendrix was open-minded. Apparently guitarists, like Clapton, disparaged him when he came out, calling him a flash-in-the-pan. Were they jealous, perhaps? But Jimi admired others' work, including people as varied as Django Reinhardt and country players. He was even listening to classical before he died.
@512banana1 add volume and or gain? :) Also a practiced bend-finger will make it last longer. If you can't make a whole-step bend sustain, first try with a half step bend?
@512banana1 Ibanez player here as well, if your accoustic guitar has an electric output it shouldn't be a problem:) Just hook it to an amp, shove some gain onto it and you're good ta go.
@RJW14 oh no, i mean I've recently got an electric guitar after a long time playing acoustic so i have to learn a lot. Maybe the problem is i have to use Effect pedal so that the sound will last longer, right?
There is nothing new under the sun. I've seen Chet Atkins tapping before Hendrix and I'm sure some classical guitarist did it before him. Not to say those guys copied anyone (they may have figured it out on their own or, like Eddie who copied a Paige lick, copied someone else and changed it)
@pangborn25 Oh I have, it's great stuff. Very creative, and not easy to play. If anyone says "oh Hendrix is overrated, I can play his stuff easily, and I'm 15" I just direct them to that.
Really, I'm more impressed with his rhythm playing and improv than anything else. And the way he used feedback, wah pedal work, and whammy bar dive-bomb effects. I love his licks too, and his overall sound, but that's not what impresses me most.
@IANC4EVER It is possible, will ultimately depend on your acoustic though. It may resonate more of the odd-order harmonics when you tap, making it sound out of tune.
@IANC4EVER Everything played on electric guitar is possible on acoustic guitar, it's just WAY harder, and you need to make tons of uncomfortable adjustments...
@IANC4EVER Oh it -is- possible, you just have to have amazing fingerstrength in your tapping finger. What makes it sound on an electric guitar is the gain thrown over it, but certainly not impossible on an accoustic.
Bat Country solo has a good use of this lick =)

@512banana1 you gotta pluck the string with your finger not just touch it, i believe thats you problem. considering your guitar is properly adjusted.

I found a trick for this lick, use your index finger to bend the 4th string a little bit so that when you tap, you dont hit the 4th string

@IANC4EVER you can do it on an acoustic but it's not very practical and won't sound the same.
