Tapping

[timerunsout]

How do I avoid getting the 'ping' sound when tapping on higher frets without barring one of the lower frets, like tapping onto an open string?

[Homebake]

you mean the opposite length of the string sounding? you can't unless you put one of those hairband things there or use your other hand to dampen the strings.

[Timbaline]

You either need to dampen the strings with your hand, or a hairband. Also what worked for me was replacing the pickups in my guitar. I had some crappy stock pickups, whenever I tapped on the higher frets I would always get a harp sound (the neck resonates too making that "ping" sound). I got some Dimarzio d-activators and the harp sound disappeared.
