God, that was long winded!
You've made a lot of valid points there which you'll be surprised I totally agree with!

The two handed tapping thing was done 10 years before EVH by Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, who openly admits it came from old bluesmen, some of which may have heard Pagannini - Nothing's truly new in music, only adapted and progressed.
Same thing with synths and programming, I guess - a follow on and progression of some things that went before.

Must admit I love playing Devil's Advocate and "stirring the pot", but that only works when someone else is truly passionate about a subject, which you, my friend, obviously are.
Just a shame more folks didn't join in to take the whole subject to a new dimension.
