Tapping Exercise #1 Edge of Pick

Here is an exact riff (shortened) from my latest track called "Heartbeat of the City". I tap the high notes with the edge of the pick for better control. Start by picking the high B note on the B string then pick the D on the E string on the 10th fret. Hammer on the E and F# on the E string.

Now here is the key to this riff. Keep your your 4th finger (pinky) down on the F# on the E string and simultaneously tap with the edge of the pick on the high G on the E string. You do the Tap and release twice. When you bounce back up with the edge of the pick it sounds the F# on the E string because your 4th finger is still holding down the note. This allows you to do a lightning fast bounce between the two notes.
