Sounds a bit broken... you lose tempo at a lot of places where you start doing two hand tapping. Try to smooth it out a bit more.

You are sort of missing a melody >.< Seems like a pretty good rhythm, but alone, it is not enough :/ Sounds like the guitar could be out of tune a bit too :/

Sounds like my first few attempts at this style of play >.< It's a great start, and a hard technique to master! Good luck with it!

Look up a guy named "Petteri Sariola"

As well, there is a guy Thomas Leeb, and another guy that is friends with Thomas Leeb but I can't remember his name. If you email/message Thomas Leeb on youtube, he will get back to you. He is pretty good about that.

He does a lot of body tapping, fingertapping music. Other than that, I really don't have any lessons for you. I could try to explain what I know, but it's not that much more than what you've got going on there :-P

Also, I just remembered another guy. T-Cophony

He is crazy talented. One of those natural musicians that you run into every once in a while.

Nope. Not many guitarists besides classical guys use nylon. If you can get a good sound out of tapping on a nylon, I wouldn't expect it to be any different.

It kinda sounds like a male fish trying to make love to a squirrel.
