thank you Mr Hackett for staying sober and switched on. It's annoying to watch these musicians who are looking drugged up or burned out trying to pass on their life experience to others
Hackett the best ever guitarist-composer , tapping guitar 1970 , play La Chaconne of J-S Bach , Genesis co-composer , 25 albums solos, composed Classical Music for Classic Guitar on A Midsummer Night's Dream and Metamorpheus , and Classical guitar Album on Bay of Kings and Momentum , etc etc etc 25 solo albums like Voyage Of The Acolyte , Spectral Mornings , Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth , To watch The Storms and many others , and best Lead Guitar ever Firth Of Fifth ....etc etc etc , merci Steve Hackett
"I couldn't afford a guitar with a whammy bar"....I imagine that now companies line up to provide him with their products just for the privilege of being seen with him playing them. Although I haven't seen him not playing a LP.
It is not tapping but a right hand pull-off. Tapping is a different technique altogether. The difference between tapping (first 8 seconds) & pull offs from 10-14 seconds into the song) may be heard on Van Halen's Spanish Fly.

When I listen to "Shadow of the Hierophant" (from Voyage of the Acolyte) it will play continuously in my head for days.

He plays a LP style guitar but its not a Gibson. (His main is a Fernandes)
