Jimmy Webster - Father of Tapping Style - Guitars101

Found this on a geocities site. Some of you may have heard or read about this guy before...but its new to me, so I thought I'd share.

One of his recordings was done in the 1950s... "Fountain Mist" demonstrates one of the first songs featuring tapping (or 'Touch Style' as he called it).

The part at 0:33 seconds sounds a bit like the tapping part from "Panama", so THAT's where Eddie got all his licks from

Easily sorted Chris!...I downloaded it...and now I can use some of my newly acquired membership and 40 MB of space to upload it for your listening pleasure!
