No, this Italian guy in the 1960s did   04-Jul-13

This video is entitled 'Van Halen didn't invent tapping', well he didn't invent tapping anyway, but neither did any electric guitarist.

Check out this awesome black-and-white video from 1965 of Italian guitarist Vittorio Camardese, who tears it up while shredding the mambo on his Spanish guitar.

Long live tapping, and long live the legendary legacy of Vittorio Camardese!
