On the guitar, finger tapping is the act of plucking a string with your right hand middle finger (the most common "tapping finger"), either open or fretted, and then hammering on the fretboard with the same finger. Usually you will do hammer-ons/pull-offs with your left hand in between the time that your right hand is tapping.
Tapping can be very simple, e.g. 2 finger tapping where you are simply playing a fast trill (like Toccata and Feuge in D Minor), or it can be very complicated like Buckethead's 10 finger tapping.
Many people claim that Eddie Van Halen invented multiple finger tapping, others say it was Billy Sheehan or Randy Rhoads, etc. But it was definitely Van Halen who brought it to the main stream audience in the 80's.

Get the jack white mug.High school is pointless. If you want to make it in the world, you need an entrepreneurial spirit, not a report card.
All of these preppy straight-A kids are going to end up making ~$100,000/annual or less in the real world. They're going to have a $300,000 house with a white picket fence and a Chevy Suburban for their soccer mom wives to drive their intolerable kids to middle school in. They're going to spend the rest of their miserable lives going to work, coming home 9 hours later to their shitbag kids and nagging wife, getting drunk while watching ESPN and doing the same thing the next day.

Get the high school mug.Lead guitarist for Metallica, since 1983. Replaced Dave Mustaine. Gets a lot of shit from Megadeth fans and from idiots who otherwise don't like Metallica. He's a damn good player though.
Kirk Hammett can play faster than you or anyone you know, so think twice before saying that he "sucks", ok?

Get the kirk hammet mug.Most addicting video game ever, next to World of Warcraft. Any chick that tells you not to play CS for hours on end can suck a fat one.
