Chapman sticks are nice, but I'm much more impressed by guys like Andy McKee. Getting tapped notes to sound cleanly on an acoustic is no mean feat, and to compose pieces like that...well, yeah. Without mincing words, it's pretty fuckin' cool.
I'm mostly content to play my guitar the normal way, though. That gives me enough to explore for now.
Also, what's with people posting youtube videos of Super Mario/Metroid/Zelda music? That gimmick was old when it started.
EDIT - Also, don't knock the Van Halen-style double handed arpeggio tapping. That shit is a lot harder than it looks.
