'Patter' is a little introduction to a song, maybe a tale or two, or a humorous story, maybe relating to a song or experience. You can practice to a pretend audience or better yet, on your unsuspecting friends. If you get a positive reaction from them, you know you are doing OK. Point is, if you practice it, it will be part of the song. Otherwise it could be awkward if messed up or forgotten halfway through. Learn it, it will come out natural. Also helps to connect to the audience.

It is not beating or tapping on your guitar box. That could be a misdemeanor in some states.
