im just gettin good at it.

the key for me was that was tryin to like do a quick hammer from the start, when you're first learning you gotta hold each note for a while to get a sense for the feeling. i dont know how a vid would help.
just keep practicin

Nobody is better than Hedges, Justin King is better than Bundy.

He's an excellent acoustic tapper, you could probably say it's his specialty. Check out "The Pond" from the mp3 section, pretty much all two-handed tapping.
