[edit] -Stub

Removed the stub on this article today. Wasn't really sure what else could be added, so wasn't sure it was still worth the stub. Add it back in if you disagree, or post here. Lambyuk 23:48, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

This article is kind of opinionated. see NPOV. ~ unsigned


As a 10 year guitarist myself I can say I honestly agree with this part.

"An incredibly technical player, Michael is most famous for lightning-fast sweep picking and tapping though he also uses alternate picking technique, despite the fact that his style relies more on a softer legato attack and his trademark sweep-tapping licks. Michael is regarded as not only an exceptional soloist but also for his complex rhythm guitar parts that make heavy use of artificial harmonics for impact. These playing effects are greatly demonstrated on his demonstrational guitar video, called, The Guitar Chapter, viewed here."

[edit] Sweep tapping?

The article mentions "sweep tapping" as Romeo's trademark technique. There's indeed a technique that could be called "sweep tapping" - which means just extending sweeps with an additonal tap or taps. Maybe Romeo does that too, but this "sweep tapping" name is often used for his tapped string skipping arpeggios. It may sound like sweeping because both are used for arpeggios, but as a technique it is completely different. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.120.63 (talk) 16:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
