Ive been trying this for a few months now. Recently I found that I have improved most by NOT playing the chromatic things, but playing things along to guitar pro that I'd normally do with my left hand. Seems to work for me

When I learned some guitar piano stuff, I had to play 12-13-14-15 with my right hand to develop just a little bit accuracy and strenght. After that I just went to play what I was learning.
So your best bet would be to learn WTH he is doing in that vid and go ahead and play it slowly, then to a metro, and then fast.

Jeff Wilde had some good starter columns on this technique here. Check those out in the archives.

So true. I remember her "chordal capo" lesson in GPM back in 87 or 88. \m/ Even though she played for Micheal Jackson...she is badass. Cant forget Jeff Watson either. (Night Ranger).

Sadly, his website was gone last time I checked, even though he has a MySpace page none of those lessons are featured there, but TJ Helmerich, and with him Brett Garsed, had the most incredibly comprehensive series of lessons on eight fingered tapping ive ever seen in my life. It really tore the roof off for me. I already had 'the two handed guitarist' by Steve Lynch but was handicapped by the fact that no tablature is supplied. People's fingers look different and wierd on fretboards, even slowly, and sometimes its difficult to decipher from even frame by frame video slow-down without transcription to help out.
I also managed to find a transcription of "You Can Still Rock in America" which actually cramms into a short set of bars a lot of eight fingered tapping technique, though there is precious little else out there featuring Watson and his style. I did find 'Seven Wishes', sadly only the song, not the whole book, but it only features his tapping technique in one repeating pattern on the high E string. I find the transcription to YCSRiA more comprehensive....
A couple of songs on Big Life alone contain some extremely melodic and inventive tapping by Jeff. Its criminal, just criminal, that no transcriptions for it exist out there on the webs....
I also find playing the piano is not as helpful as you would think. The tapping hand positions itself and plays the notes very differently over the fretboard than over the keyboard. Pressure applications against a key and against a string between frets on a board is also very different as well. Intervallically, notes are stacked in a different order across a keyboard as opposed to the way the notes fold, zipper-like, across the strings in thier positions....
