I love when players who are known for a certain style attempt another style....and then own it!

@Envenomed69 Too bad man. You disrespected anyway. Greg is light years beyond big mac. I was a major mac fan back when he did the mars project but this stuff annihilates that .

@lordsong7 We come from the same place as far as the origins; I also delved into classical, French, Russian, Indian, American Country, and so on, as well as Jazz from around the world. And I have nothing against the new generation of guitarists, although Allan Holdsworth is STILL ahead of them all! Vinyl and tape, absolutely! We're the old guys, but we can still put up a decent fight! :)

@ricaard I agree I have 1 on all my geets by I almost never use it! 'Cept for tie harmonics Players should learn to play clean, defined without it first & foremost True -its gotten too easy these days Its great but almost a shame cause no discipline I grew up on Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Blackmore.. in the 60s early 70s -we had no web, computers, dvds, cds Just vinyl & tape -had to learn the hard way . kids today have it too easy then get fat heads but they know shit on origins & have no soul

@lordsong7 I understand, and I didn't mean to indict every scrunchie user as lazy (and apologize if I did), but I do see it being overused in place of good left and right hand muting technique; I've gone out to see players that use it (not the heavy hitters, mind you), and while they do very well with the tie on, they, mostly do HORRIBLY without it! It worries me about the current state of guitar technique at large. I for one with trudge along without it, as I love working on my fret basics.

@ricaard

the hair tie isn't just for muting while tapping

its also for hair tie harmonics - check out Dave Martones video on that and you'll see why the tie is so cool and not at all a lazy mans mute technique

Satch wouldn't need to mute with the right hand for his left handed tapped arppegios on the Mystical Potato ... tune, if he used a tie.

@jamesmccrary21 Howe's tapping is very clean, yes, but Tony does it without the hair scrunchie on the neck. He uses old school left-hand muting technique, which I prefer--I believe it's just as clean, just takes a little more practice. No offense, as much as I love Greg and the new school of tappers, I don't like the scrunchie.. :)
