I use my middle finger to tap single notes, but as Elklandercc says, tapping multiple notes with your picking hand can mean using multiple fingers.

Picking hand, fretting would just be legato.

Callouses will take time to develop, just as they do on your fretting hand.... it'll ease if it's a technique you start to use more....

You also don't need much of a callous to keep the pain away from pinky tapping.

It's up there like the General population recognizes the single word;
Cher, Madonna, Prince and even Snoop.............
No wait......... Snoop can be recognized from two different single words;
1. Snoop
Or
2. D-O-Double-G

"No Stairway?!?" I was actually trying out a Valaveking at Guitar Center the other day and I was doing 3 string arps going up the neck, and one of the dudes walked over and said no sweep picking on saturdays with a laugh. They were clean and quick, so I hope he didn't imply they sounded like ****.
James, please check out Eruption by Van Halen, you can youtube it or download it, either way, its over played but still sounds awsome.
