No, you can't tape felt very well. Why would you as it is not going
to perform as well as Tyvek. Building a second rate house?
There is some debate as to whether plastic house wraps outperform
felt. See, e.g., the first google hit on "house wrap comparison":

In the absence of compelling evidence that plastic house wrap is
superior, I'll stick with the tried and true. I will be using Home
Slicker under cedar sidewall shingles to provide a positive drainage
plane, that is an invention that makes alot of sense to me.
