      And massive amounts of compression! You can hear the lack of dynamic in that all the notes are all almost exactly the same level, as well as the breaking up of the louder sections where the audio is being crushed by the compression.
      I mean, obviously that guitar is setup sweet and the playing is phenomenal, but without compression it would not sound half as polished as this.

      It's more comfortable to tap with the right hand, you can play with both hands, left hand or right hand, there's no rule for that. But, to play with the "fret hand" only, it would require higher strength on the fingers because of the position you play.
