Heh the guy who designed that site has also designed Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater's new website, he also animated the 'Octavarium' animation they play during the song of the same name when they play live.
I'm not sure if the site designer actually plays the clips but he's got some damn tasty licks aswell! Sort of a mix between Vai and Van Halen.

Myth says that before VH got signed Eddie used to tap like that with his back to the audience so that no one could rip off his style before he could use it to its proper effect.

Nobody said it wasn't. I suppose it would have been more apt of me to call it a legend or something similar.riddlermarc said:That's a myth..? I always heard it was real

Go Malmsteen
Actually shredding was first introduced by the one and only Ollie Halsall.. Try the song *Blue* from the Kevin Ayers album *yes we have no mananas*.. Mark Warner from Quantum Jump on *No america starship* from the epnonymous titled album was also up to it before Eddie... and Eddie copied his tapping technique from the Genesis guitarist... Steve Hackett..Something he quite openly acknolwedges

Coincidence.
Listening to a Steve Hackett interview today that he did on Planet Rock a couple of weeks ago.
Still got it - Hackett talks about tapping
