Fingers of Pick Hand:

M = Middle Finger

Fingers of the Fret Hand:
r = ring finger
m = middle finger
i = index finger
s = small finger (pinky)
Ex 1: For this example, start by doing a simple tapping. Using your
fret hand, place any of your fingers on the 12th fret of the Eb string.
Now, with your pick hand, tap the 17th fret with your index finger.
Instead of tapping the hell out of the string, like "poking" the string,
dry bending the string, slightly, as you tap. Meaning you lightly bend
the sring down towards the high Eb string and letting go of it, causing
a pull off to the 12 fret.

Ex 2: For this example, you'll use two fingers. You'll use your index finger,
and your middle finger. Do the same process as in Ex 1. Build up your speed,
from slow to fast. Have your index finger of your fret hand on the 11th fret,
and your middle finger of your fret hand on the 12th fret. The trick to do this
is to place both your middle, and index fingers of your fret hand on the frets.
After you tap the 12th fret, keep your index finger on the 11th fret, even when
your middle finger is on the 12th fret.

Ex 3: For this example, it gets a bit hard to do. This is slightly the
solo part from "Jordan." Doing the same process as in the second example,
your going to do it with three fingers now. Your now using your middle, index,
and ring fingers for this one. Ring finger for the 12th, middle finger for
the 11th fret, and use your index finger for the 10th fret (all for the fret hand).

Build up your speed as well.
