A guitar technique used for playing fast arpeggios. One note per string is fretted by the left hand, while the right hand sweeps down/up on the strings in one motion. More than one string cannot ring simultaneously or it will become a chord/whatever.
The difficult part of sweep picking lies within getting your left hand to fret the notes in sync with the right hand's sweeping.

Get the sweep picking mug.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.

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.

Both my dad and my uncle fucked around in high school but are very well off from the stock exchange/business/real estate.
