Sounds like someone let their dog paw randomly at their guitar.

I also enjoy making fun of guitarist who are much better then me, and bully young teenagers on the internet.

i cant stand most of the stuff when he sings, change it not a bad song... but overall his lyrics and voice is pretty lame IMO.. listen to the stuff on le Bleu.... its kinda.. well fruity
im not a fan of his other stuff, im just saying its easier to stand...

and the trace bundy comment, trace is similar to justin. just start listening ot some of his clips, hes got some good ideas and stuff, and hes got good technique and skill just it all sounds the same.
i disagree. i dunno how much youve listened to him, but his songs are definately differentiable in the melody and the techniques he uses. sometimes its more tapping, or more slapping and harmonics, or more strumming, or a combination of a things. i think trace is better.
oh im not saying it isnt talented.. but its just like he has a nickelbag of tricks he sticks to.

right. and i agree with that nickelbag of tricks thing...but if you think about (and not that doing that makes you good or bad either way) but dave does it...obviously we're not calling him a guitar virtuoso but its funny how people describe trace or justin as nickelbag players while a) we just havent seen any other stuff or b) lots of other players are technically like that but just dont get the description.

thats not an argument, just an interesting observation

Not to sound like a newbie here but I am so here goes the obvious question.

How does he make the tapping work on an accoustic guitar? A shitload of amplification?

Yes I realize that, I've done it. But it takes too much strength considering the little sound it makes. It needs amplification to sound like that, doesnt it?
