Members jorhay1 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 and if we are talking about metal/rock only then Ace Frehley was doing it before I suspect....as was Steve Hackett from Genesis. So Steve predates Ace a little. Hogweed was cut in '71. anyone before that? Edit: who was doing it in the 50's? (Non rock/okay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jorhay1 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 Larry is one in a million (can you handle it?) one of my mentors is an old CBS/Columbia staff engineer who recorded some of Sly's greatest recordings. He swears that Sly and not Larry invented slapping bass. He says Sly played bass in the studio and Larry learned it from him. who knows. but an interesting story none the less.

Just so long as Sly isn't better than Larry, because I don't think my brain could handle that. How could you get much better than that? Anyway I read somewhere about some guy in the 30's who slapped his double bass. He was called Slappy Fingers McGee or something you know how it is.

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapping#History EVH actually 'invented' punctuation. It's true. You could ask dudes in the Amp forum for clarification but there's only two people there who understand what punctuation is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jay3265E Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 not unless he was doing it in the 50's Eddie was not the first by any means but was easily the one who is credited for making it popular. The source of all things completely factual and credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HeartfeltDawn Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 ..and thus EVH helps create heavy metal. From heavy metal came the whole new rock stuff going on now and from that comes the Amp forum. Basically EVH is the Amp forum version of Xenu.

Members jorhay1 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 weird for me cuz i went to school in the bay area and at the neighboring high school was a guy who played guitar by the name of Stanley Jordan.for me, he (and chapman,,kinda) made it popular, albeit at that time just locally. When EVH came out I didn't think of him as an innovator, just a good player. But since he sold more records than Stanley, I guess he wins. Interesting wikipedia link. "centuries" huh? wow. loving the Booker White! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
