I don’t doubt that one of Ace’s fingers of his right hand somehow tapped the fingerboard. He could have been trying to mash a trapezoid inlay wondering why the smoke wasn’t coming out.
At the end of the day Ace is still Ace and Ed is still Ed. Those have been well established. It’s on tape. Whether that’s good or bad depends on your perspective. I always thought Ace was a joke and Ed was king but that’s just me.
I’ve never thought Ed invented tapping. He just did it well and was the one who popularized it. It’s too easy and too intuitive for people not to have tried it going all the way back.
EDIT: all these years later, the easiest part of Eruption, by far, is the tapping part. It’s a fairly easy technique that sounds way more flashy than it really is.
