19p12-t-15p12-t-19p12-t-15p12...

Well actualy the example you've just showed is a normal tapping pattern, it has nothing to do with the 2-hand tapping that I've mentioned, and in your example, what you do with your 4th (or 3rd) finger is called a hammer-on not tapping, although they're very similar.

The 2-hand tapping is not executed on one string, well I guess I'll have to show an example from Joe Satriani's 'Midnight' , just to give a clear meaning of the 2-hand tapping..

Here's the Intro to 'Midnight' from 'Surfing with the alien' album



L1 L3 R2 R1 Repeat three times L1 L2 R2 R1 x3

|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------12---------------------------------------------14-----------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------12------------------------------10------------14------------|
|-------9-------------------------------------9--------------------------------|
|--7---------------------------------------------------------------------------|



L1 = left index R1 = right index
L4 = left pinky R4 = right pinky


Usualy the tab may look a little messy here, copy it and paste it in a wordpad or a text document , so it may look a little better, just put in your mind that above each note there is an indication for the finger that is used...
Hope this helps.
