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.

Well I was mostly using EVH as an example that was easy to identify with to be perfectly honest. I knew he wasnt the 'original' as it were, didnt know who it really was though. The thought did cross my mind as I was writing it, but explaining would have made an already long winded post even longer
The more surprising thing is that every foray I've ever made into the black magic of synth and sequencing has been an utter failure because the programs are so much more complex than I can be bothered learning
