I've been messing around with tapping lately and I noticed it's hard to make tapped notes sound as good as my picked notes. Is there a certain tone that makes it easier? Is it high gain, or overdrive, or long sustain? Also, I'm playing 12s; would using a lighter string gauge help? Or do I just need to practice with my right hand to hit the center of the fret harder?
