In the words of Miles Davis to Jeff Berlin: "You know what to practice then, don't you?"
You'll likely need some Shaun Baxter/Martin Goulding instructional material.
First-finger hammers work better for me on guitars with taller frets.
I'm not going for the show aspect, only the different intervals/attack tones/ergonomics. In fact, first-finger hammers are most useful to me when playing tapping licks so I can get different runs.
More suggested listening: Garsed, MacAlpine (those arpeggios aren't all swept with the pick!), Derryl Gabel, Shawn Lane.

Thought I would post a vid to show what I mean ...it's just random noodling but the first finger always seems the problem when playing without the right hand
If I try then I can make first finger hammer ons louder than the others, but it needs a conscious decision because I’ve spent years training myself to get equal volume from each finger.
However I can’t do the Guthrie pint glass trick because, without a hair band on my fretboard, I need to use right hand damping.
