I just break out the two-hand tapping and most of the people i know are wowed. its pretty funny.

i two hand tap even when not showing off. just because its fun. Midnight by Joe Satriani is a good song for it. i really wanna find some time to figure out the intro to Building the Church by Steve Vai. i can play behind my head too, but i'm completely jealous of Paul Gilbert's skillz. he can sweep pick with his teeth. it mad scary. usually if you can alternate pick somthing fast, people who dont play think its cool. its kinda sad how tapping get so much more of a reaction that sweeping though. cause sweeping is limitlessly harder most of the time. and if all else fails, bring out the pyro.

People are more impressed by duel hand techniques(tapping) rather than coordination between both hands(sweeping).

I try to showoff, but I'm not very good at it. I usually end up dropping the guitar, the strap is the only thing that's keeping it in decent shape! xd

I only show off during shows, when I'm hanging out with the guys jamming or playing to my girl I just play straight up.
I think it's more about when to show off you know. You have to be a stageman... an entertainer, cause it's not just the vocalist's job to cheer up and make the audience be participative. Anyway people remember a lot of guitarists as well as singers because of their showmanship (i.e.: Angus Young)
