How do I read Tap?

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

post the tab and i can help you figure out where to pull off

5 h 8 t 12, index on the 5, middle or ring on the 8, right hand index or middle on the 12th. Hammer on the 12 with your left hand (tap), then pull off to the 5th fret(your left index.) Now hammer on the 8th fret, then hammer with your left hand index on the 12th fret. When pulling off, adding a little downwards pressure will help to sound it better. It might not sound right at first, but once you get up to speed, it'll knock your socks off.

thanx for responding to the message stab inthe dark

here is the tab, i got it right off of Schmange's first page on tapping

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