Actually, it might be surprising to note that Chet Atkins was tapping long before
the word was devised to describe it. He just didn't do it a lot. I guess he never
thought of it as anything special.
A little story about Stevie Ray Vaughan, as told by Eric Clapton: Eric was driving
along one day, and this guitar player came over the radio. Eric pulled over and
just listened. Then he thought he had to find out who that was, and he had to
find out now. As it turned out, it was SRV.
Eric said that every guitar player gets to a point where his score kind of dries up,
and he thinks, where do I go from here? I guess it takes a professional player to
detect that in another player because Eric said he never detected that with SRV,
that SRV just had that knack of knowing where he's going at all times. That's
really saying something because Eric confessed that it had happened even to
himself.
Speaking of Eric Clapton, the day Jimi Hendrix died, Eric was on this way to
see Jimi. He had brought with him a guitar that he was going to give to Jimi
as a gift.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood
This is a fun one. While playing the guitar behind his back, SRV broke a
guitar string. His brother Jimmie picked up the slack while SRV changed
guitars. Stevie then put the guitar back behind his back and picked up
the song in progress. Nothing short of impressive.

Not Grace Slick's best performance on this song, IMO, but the guitar solo is the reason I have posted it.

This has become my favorite Buckethead solo of the gazillion that he's done. Just incredible...
