i seem to remember hearing that one too. richards was warming up and stretching his arms before a performance and accidentally strummed his guitar while swinging his arm. townsend happened to be able to be in the crowd and the rest is history...
eddie van halen said he got the initial inspiration for his two-hand tapping technique from seeing a led zeppelin show. page was tapping notes 12 frets higher up on the neck to sound harmonics for single notes and eddie just decided to take it a little further
