Hot for Teacher tapping

[Milo]

hi,
do you know which of his left hand fingers Eddie uses in the intro part of hot for teacher? i can play quite a lot of Eddie's licks but this one is VERY difficult to pull out

[Bizarro]

Index finger and pinky on left hand. I think the index finger pull-off to the open fret is the hard part, IMO.

you can probably view the mtv video of this on www.launch.com - although I think you might need a yahoo account to view videos. He plays it whilst walking along a row of desks in the library if I remember.

I use my index and pinky

I can use my index and third finger. Eddie uses index and pinky, pulling of with index and hammering on with pinky.

Regulus, I have a hard time pulling-off cleanly with that stretch and my 3rd finger when I'm standing up. It's from the 3rd to the 7th fret! Do you have some big old meat hooks for hands? :)

Yeah pretty much lol. I can easily reach from the 12th to the fifth between my index and pink and from the 12th I can reach anywhere above. Its not that my hands are superbly large, I just have frighteningly long and flexible fingers. My pinky is as long as most of my friend's middles lol.
