  18. There's no question that Hackett tapped first.  What's your evidence that
  19. EVH copied it from him?  He claims (in an interview) that it was Page's
  20. simple hammer-on/pull-offs during the "Heartbreaker" solo that gave him the
  21. idea, not seeing Hackett.  Counter-evidence is welcome.
