can someone recommend me some songs I could practice to improve my tapping?
I'm especially trying to get into more complex stuff (like using several strings) and also using more than one finger (of my right hand of course)

I usually use my middle-finger to tap so I can just keep the pick in its normal position but I guess for 6-finger tapping for example (ínvolving 2 right hand fingers) it would be best to use middle and index finger, right?

sea of lies by symphony x has a neat tapping break,
actually it has a couple of nice tapping licks.

Dave didn't like the song on the radio. So he killed a little girl.

Try Michael Romeo's tapping etude from the 'Betcha Can't Play This' column in Guitar World. Dave Celantano's book, 'Over The Top' has a cool etude, and Bach Prelude transcribed for two handed technique.
'Midnight' by Joe Satriani is a great one to learn as well, as is the tapping section from 'Eruption'.

For two finger tapping it would probably be better to use your ring and middle finger...Derek Taylor who really developed that approach calls it 'Spock Technique'. It feels wierd at first, but you can get some great results with it.
Derek Taylor, Santiago Dobles, Derryl Gabel, Terry Syrek and Rusty Cooley all use that style of tapping.
