Yeah, I know, Dokken was pretty cheesy, at least in the lyrics and clothing department. Anyway, I'm trying to learn the solo from the song In My Dreams. There is a part where he does these hammer ons and pull offs that either require extremely long fingers or fingers like Gumby.

I don't think there is much use in trying to get my fingers to stretch furter so I'm trying to do it with tapping. What I've been doing is putting a finger from my pick hand down on the 12th fret and doing the hammer on/pull offs with my left hand's pinkie and index finger. I'm trying to get it up to speed, but dang do I have a long way to go. Is it just a matter of really learning how to limit how far my fingers come off the board after each one pulls off? Or is there basically no way to get it as fast as he does using this method?

Help, help!

Oh, and Guinness is the nectar of life by the way!
