Is it me, or isnt there some kinda pull'off being done at the 12th fret right after the strike at the same fret?

[toddsquadxyz]

@stormshadow2k Well yes :) I'm striking and pulling off at 12.

Practice!

@m3tallih0lic Well said ;) Keeping a firm tapping finger is very important. Too much bend can compromise the precision of the pressure and kill your consistency in terms of the strike on the string.

Practice!

i use my middle finger for tapping =P.. works great, especially when you plan on doing sweeps with tapping mixed in.. oh and here's a tip.. i notice people that are new to finger tapping bend their tapping finger too much.. don't do that, it slows you down.. keep the tapping finger extended out while tapping!! \m/ ^_^ \m/
