best way to hammer on and pull off on a guitar?

Answer 1

Hammer-ons and pull-offs are also known as slurs. They help to create a smoother sound between notes. It is the equivalent of a saxophone player playing a group of notes with one breath, and not tonguing each note. Or a violin player playing some notes with one bow stroke. That is the way that those instruments slur and get a smoother sound. Below you will learn how to apply slurs to the guitar. A hammer-on will involve 2 different notes. A note is plucked, then a second note is sounded by slamming or "hammering" another finger onto the same string at a higher fret.
A pull-off can be thought of as the opposite of a hammer-on. There are 2 notes involved. Before starting, you will need to have both left hand fingers that are involved already placed in their perspective frets. The first note is plucked, then a second note is sounded by pulling that finger off of the string with force. You are basically plucking the string with the left hand finger that you used for the 1st note first note. You will need to pull both towards the floor, and out away from the neck of the guitar.

Every person has their own technique for hammering on and pulling off...just keep practicing and you will develop your own technique.

Answer 2

Just press your finger down on a fret without plucking the string, usually with your index finger a couple frets below your hammer finger, and pull it off. Just practice doing it fast
and thats usually the best way.
