im just gettin good at it.

the key for me was that was tryin to like do a quick hammer from the start, when you're first learning you gotta hold each note for a while to get a sense for the feeling. i dont know how a vid would help.
just keep practicin

Sorry.

OK, really I'm done.

Trace Bundy is not the master of acoustic tapping.

You do not get any better than Michael Hedges. He is the father.

Nobody is better than Hedges, Justin King is better than Bundy.

Trace Bundy has like 3 good songs... and they are nowhere near as comparable to Hedges

He's an excellent acoustic tapper, you could probably say it's his specialty. Check out "The Pond" from the mp3 section, pretty much all two-handed tapping.
