I asked John Stropes[/ URL"> about it a Interlochen and he stated that there is no standard developed yet. The style hasn't developed into a form where it is standardized. guitar_Oct22.html">UMW The U of W has a great guitar program headed by Stropes who teaches individuals to be themselves, not copies of any famous player. As for design, I think low is good but not always and pickup placement is different but leans toward mag pickup at the soundhole I think. But there is probably under saddle also and mic'ed is good too. Pound the guitar anywhere it has a good resonance. For example Alex DeGrossi pounds the neck of his Lowden and gets a very low tone. |

Good, but sounds like a slightly folkified Stanley Jordan style. Sounds impressive, but I think the right hand percussion and harmonics do a lot to dramatize the show. [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baDM3_6w8-E]Stanley Jordan[/ URL] |

There's a lot of "homebrew" building going on over at the tappistry.org forums. Certainly worth checking out. Although, I have to say that I'm a little disappointed with the turnout of acoustic tappers... as in: I don't think I've seen ANY acoustics made specifically for tapping beyond Emmett Chapman's "Acoustick" that Bob Culbertson plays from time to time. (there's a picture of it on the front page of http:// www.bobculbertson.com/ if you want to see it). I'd really like to see what could be done with acoustic tappers, even if they might need some nice under-bridge peizo pickups. I really like the expression and depth you can get out of a tapper. My only complaint is that a lot of the recordings I've heard sound like the strings are "quacking", if that makes sense. I don't know if that's a problem with technique or if it just comes with the territory of tapping. |

For very low action, in theory you should build a little less bridge compensation, because the low action stings are not depressed and do not stretch as much as high action. However, my ear is not good enough to notice the changes in intonation. |
