Watch "AirTap!", "PercusienFa", or "Lisbon" by Erik for visual representations of lap tapping. It's a style that utilizes tapping, percussive hits, and harmonic slaps to create a unique sound that sounds much like multiple instruments are being played.

And Quilantis is right, this particular video isn't lap tapping.

lol. mate, can you read?you've done nothing but agree with me. i said that it was most likely made from carbon fibre because of its lightweight. and then all i did was express the chemical similarity between carbon fibre and graphite.use your head. lol.you should read comments properly, maybe a few times, before you start arguing against no one.

eric is an awosm eacoustic artsist whenever I watch this it makes me want to keep practicing keep it up eric :)

Unique sound........

...again, use your head. They use Carbon Fiber becuase its LIGHT. How was that irrelevant
gingermop3020 (November 5, 2008 at 7:44 pm)
lol. what? how is that relevent?
moonturkey (November 5, 2008 at 6:19 pm)
I have no knowledge of technicalities but to me at least it looks like carbon fibre!
Unrelentingx (November 5, 2008 at 2:14 am)
No, you're ignorant. Think about it. Performance Car parts are made of what? Carbon Fiber. Ice Hockey sticks are made with mostly what? Carbon Fiber. Use your head please

While I don't doubt your chemical knowledge, I have played a Rainsong acoustic with a graphite body and it wasn't heavy at all.
pftkguitar (October 29, 2008 at 1:29 pm)
its carbon fibre
jammin520 (October 28, 2008 at 5:26 pm)
well you got my full respect if you can play these!
gingermop3020 (October 20, 2008 at 8:06 pm)
it is carbon fibre. they're not mainly carbon they are near enough solely carbon. with a few minor impurities. the differences are the intermolecular arrangement. your right artizhan, it would weigh too much.
Grotmunky (October 13, 2008 at 10:33 pm)
its graphite, not carbon fibre. they are similar. Both mainly carbon. but it is still very light.
