The slap has become so overused

[AZ Cardinal]

I play in a combo with Ben Wilborn, Frog and Toad, and I use the slap somewhat often.. When you play a 2 hour set, I believe you need all sorts of styles as not to get stale in your sounds... When I do use the slap its usually higher energy numbers etc, so I believe I need it, and think it sounds cool used sparingly...
Maybe we can add this to the saying:
There are 2 types of People in the world... Those who love Neil Diamond, and those who don't...
And,
Those who love Thumb slaps and those who don't???

...and those who categorize people and those who don't.

As for Neil Diamond, I thought he had some pretty good tunes among the many he performed.
