I use a pick to do my right hand tapping, but, if you can use your finger, you get a nice "Round" sound. If you can get a compressor, i'd recommend that in addition to maybe a wee bit of flange or chorus or something. But, compression, i think, is the main thing to have when tapping. Also, make sure to turn your distortion/Drive up plenty high. If that doesn't helpl ya, try tapping harder (duh) c ya
