when performing pull offs w/ ur tapping hand while performing multi finger taps, should you still be pulling off down toward the ground, similar to your fret hand? or should you be pulling off toward the ceiling because your tapping hand would be in a different position compared to your fretting hand.

The way I do it is to pull off towards me or up I guess you could say. Not enough to change the pitch too much unless it's relevent. I'm just getting into multi tapping with both hands so I am probably doing it wrong but it sounds ok, I'm fairly quick, It's my accuracy that needs work. It's just the way that seems natural to me.

If you have high bandwidth access, I just uploaded a video on multi-finger tapping.
Over the next few weeks I'll be adding videos to all my tapping stuff so eventually there'll be about 50 lessons for all the stuff below.
