Master one finger tapping off the right hand first, then try with two. Move up from there. I've only used 8 fingers a couple of times myself, I find it easier to drop in and out of a solo from alt picking etc to tap over multiple strings rather than change my hand position that radically. I have seen some amazing stuff done with 8 fingers though!

Yeah, that's true. After doing 50 lessons on tapping I was starting to get known only as a tapping player so I moved on to other things and never went back to do the last chapter.
It's been about 7 years now so I guess I should get off my butt and finish it. :)
