Chapter 2, GUITAR TECHNIQUE, Page 30, ArticulationHAMMER ON / PULL-OFFHammer-on Allows you to go from a lower to a higher note. You pick the first notewith your right hand and follow it by pressing (hammering-on) another left-hand finger on thenext fret so the following note will sound. When pressing down the string, be sure not to adapttoo much pressure on it; the speed and timing of your finger movement is the main idea here!Hammering on should be done quick, relaxed, and with perfect timing – it is hard at first, but ifyou practice it diligently you will surely master the move.Pull-off Allows you to go from a higher to a lower note. You place a left-hand finger onone fret and the other finger on another fret lower on the neck. Play the first note with the pick,and drag the fretting finger down towards the floor and off of the string, so the next note frettedby the other finger will sound. Pulling off the finger should be done so the string is actuallyplucked and set in vibration. Be sure to practice this move so both the first and second notesounds equally high!Here is an exercise that will help you develop both hammer-ons and pull-offs. Try to get allnotes ringing equally loud:Fig. 15Hammers and PullsNotes2hampull.PDF
