but tapping is not? did he patent the technique or something?

[Snoogans]

I was wondering - are there any examples of Blues Rock Chatter on Van Halen albums? Could we sue his ass if there are?

I don't think there is a patent on the technique, but as has been stated in other threads, he had prevented warm up band guitarists from tapping if they wanted to remain on tour with VH (Steve Lynch from Autograph and Vito Bratta from White Lion).

I could buy a damn nice airplane for what they are asking for that.

Agreed....but I'm betting in 20 or 30 years this peice of shit guitar is worth more then that aiplane.
