Does anyone here know about guitar tapping on CBG? I do a lot of slide blues, and think this could help my soloing. Any advice, lessons, and videos would be very helpful. Thanks.

etc etc  ... unles you meant beat tapping on the box etc  ? .. 

To clarify, I mean the Van Halen style tapping. Two handed, three finger, etc.
I actually watched this yesterday. To clarify, I mean the Van Halen style tapping. Two handed, three finger, etc.

yup , it is done  , you can probably  find  more examples  with a search   (top right corner of  page   )  but not much different that regular  6 string guitar tapping  .. besides less strings  . and  you gotta do  it alot harder if it's  a fretless .  

You can also learn to do tapped ghost harmonics (requires two fingers) at any length along the string. These are weird, and I have found it, and "conventional" tapping, to be beyond me, other than single notes. I find I have enough to do with working other techniques to try to add this one.

Which doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

Here's one good vid showing you how, which, as pick says, should be equally applicable to fretted diddley bows, dulcimer, 3-, and 4-string CBGs as to 6-stringers:
