I'm Ok at it. I think I learned a lot of technique by wrapping with various types of wrap.
Cheap, fat, foam 'cork' tape is the hardest to get good results with. Cloth tape with a narrow width is the easiest. I have a couple of my favorite bikes wrapped with old-fashioned 1/2" cloth friction tape. Very easy and surprisingly satisfactory results, if you don't care about the padding.
