Well, just to address the two techs you mentioned:
1.) Multishining. You pretty much just shine and then input another shine while your character is in jumpsquat. Most people just slide from X->B or from Y->B
2.) Pillaring. Once I land a shine, I immediately WD down to focus on my opponents DI. Against spacies, I then simply dash over to where they are and place a lowish SHFFL dair to catch them, and then just shine again once I know I can. Rinse and repeat.

In general, I'd just suggest that you mess around with your character a lot and learn how he feels. Be sure to have good control over your lasers and traditional movement (WD + DD, esp. in tandem), and just have fun.

Yeah like Hector said, practice and practice often.
Just about anytime I have open in my room I practice tech skill. The results will show after a month or so. Even my multishines have gotten up near the twenties in a about a month of practice along with general control of my Falco. I just like to spam them in the middle of practice for a little challenge and some fun.
It's the best feeling when everything you've been practicing is getting more and more precise and consistent.

Decisively Inept........... I can't figure out what the C or the K stand for. 
For multishine you just have to find a way to press jump and down b fast, eventually you get the timing for it down. Also try practicing them on a shield because it's pointless to do it on thin air. The goal is to try to do 8+ multishines on shield to break it.
Pillaring you need to shine and doublejump fast fall dair. The timing is less strict on fox/falco. On floaties it's best to hit the dair on the lower part of their body so you can reach the ground before them.

Instead be sure to nail your nair>shine, shine>grab (then nair>shine>grab).
Nair>shine>nair (fadeback to stay safe) for shield pressure.
Waveshine, double shine (it's true you won't ever need more than that anyway), then double shine>wavedash down, double shine>nair etc.

I wouldn't say "useless" but I would certainly recommend prioritizing other things first: Clean execution for movement, jumping as you like when attacking (including lasers), shffling and being comfortable with timing the fast fall and the l-cancel at any height the move may hit, etc. On the other hand, learning multishining should totally help him with shine out of shield, or any kind of jump, which would be immensely helpful.
Jump out of shine, back air. It can be done facing the opponent or away to still get the sweet spot. It's much faster in midair, and easier to connect if you shine them from above. Good as a combo finisher if they're in midair, and as an out of shield option. Practice jumping out of shine with every method, tap jump, X and Y. Practice doing the bair with c-stick, A, and Z. Find whichever you find most comfortable. You want to be able to control turning around in the shine on demand, and not do it accidentally.

Double shining is not important at your level if you are first starting out. You need to actually learn how to play falco before you can even get yourself into positions where u can even double shine.
