Just because you cant do it is no reason to put a technique down

Yes, I'm pretty sure that was a joke. The [i]gigantic[/i] gap before 'IMO' was the giveaway. And as a (mostly) pick player, I have no problemos with it.

It's them as use their [i]all[/i] the fingers on the fretting hand that get my goat. Pretentious Cockney b*stards.

Personally I include tapping under slapping. I know, I know...

Whoops - I didn't include bow-ing either. Or using a mike stand as a slide.

Or feverishly rubbing the pick against the strings. Or plucking with the teeth.

Rats. Fail of Biblical proportions.
