I have to say, this video here seems to be the one that's going to help me more immediately. Can't wait to get out of the office to work on this. My struggle right now is finger independence and this seems like a great way to overcome that issue.

Thanks for the lesson. I try to do all my finger practice on my acoustic guitar first. If I can make it sound good on it, I know I can easily do it on an electric. The stiffer strings on my acoustic makes it more difficult to accomplish but it's good for my strength. Thanks again for the exercises.

@ranepoppa6654 Жыл бұрын

It may seem strange, but the hammer-on motion is more an issue of speed than strength. Try keeping your hand relaxed and bringing the hammer-on finger down quickly rather than trying to bring it down with a ton of force. The quickness of the finger is what should generate the new note. It’s also completely natural for the hammer-on finger to drawback/recoil slightly (for a split second) before coming down on the string. It’s kind of like a mini windup. You can see him do this at 1:26. The other thing to focus on is making sure the hammer-on finger completely hits the string flush and not off-center, and that it stays pressed down on the string once it hits it. Being off-center or breaking contact with the string after coming down on it (even just a little bit) will result in improper or inefficient energy transfer from your hammer-on finger to the string. Let me know if this helps! God bless!

cool video! how important is the picking motion in order to play fast legato? I see that you are playing all downstrokes when ascending if you play it slow, but if you play it fast you play alternate picking. So whats the best way to do it for ascending & descending?

Why does so many finger exercises start at/or around the 5th fret? lol Just noticed this after coming away from the spider workout. I move it around the neck, and my hammer-on, pull-off workout was just starting with my pointer then to each other finger move to the ring then HO/PO with each finger etc. But I had no idea it was called Legato, and this is a really good workout to add along with the spider, both sharing the idea of economy of movement and not having that wild pinky flair out. Thanks for the lesson! Keep up the good work!

I'm just getting back into learning guitar after giving it up for a long time. Why did no one ever explain to me that you actually pluck the string on a pull off? I probably never would have quit playing guitar if someone had properly explained to me that the reasons my pull offs sound like crap was because I was literally pulling off and not plucking.

@ytvideos101 2 жыл бұрын

Great video, thanks for sharing! As a beginner, I'm trying to duplicate movements/sound at at 7m in the video. However, after the first hammer the sound diminishes no matter how hard my fingers hammer the string and the sound is gone by the time I hammer the 3rd/4th fingers and won't start again unless I pluck the string. Wondering if my technique is still off or if there is an issue with my electric guitar not picking up the hammers. Any feedback on what might be happening and how to fix would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

@kovuqui Жыл бұрын

can you tell me some hand positioning techniques? I see with your style of playing you seem more parallel to the fretboard. Is that just to teach and make it more visible to players? Cause I like to hug the fretboard a bit more, its just more comfortable and allows more flexibility on my playing
