hey fellow guitar players,
im having some trouble reading some tapping tabs.
i usually tap like this: example with 12, 5, 8 (frets)
i have my left hand index on 5,
then i tap 12 with right hand
then hammer on 8 with left hand
then i just repeat my 12 tap with right
and then 8 with left again

im not really sure what im suppose to pull off..

i don't know how to tap combos such as 5, 8, 12
it says pull off the 5, does that mean you pull off 5 and 0 will ring? please help clariffy this problem im having.
if i just confused everyone, just ignore this message

thanks for your time

if you start with 5 pull off, doesn't 0 ring?

Pull from the 8 to the 5 so that the 5 sounds, then tap the 12
