Sometimes a try to play sometapping stuff, playing scale up and down on the strings useing tapping, it's ok if I'm going up, but I don't know how to do it correctly. I mean when I'm going down and want to tapp the first note on a string it sound wrong, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. Here's an example:

---9-8-6------------------------------------------
---------9-8-6----------------------------------
----------------8-6-5-------------------------
----------------------8-6-5-------------------
-----------------------------8-6-4------------
-----------------------------------8-6-4-----

So how sould I do this thing correctly ? Just smash my finger on the first note or what?

Think of the tapped notes as being the same as the notes your left hand executes with hammer-ons; the motion is exactly the same, it's just that now your right hand's fretting the note.
