hammer technique[edit]

The reference to this guitarist using the "hammer technique" before Eddie Van Halen is irrelevant, as Yamamoto did not invent it. Guitarists Tal Farlowe, Harvey Mandel and Allen Holdsworth used the method in some manner during the Seventies and before hand.

I'm not writing this to cause an argument. It was never mentioned that he invented the technique, Steve Hackett also used the technique around the same time. It was mentioned because he was one of the first guitarists to use the technique regularly in rock songs, before Van Halen popularised it. 219.90.225.55 15:51, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
