These shorts are so good for my teeny tiny ADHD brain

But can I hit my guitar with the hammer?

I know these things before but he made me realize them again

This short video is more helpful than any of Rick Beato’s shorts

Well according to the momentum in physics speed is proportionate to momentum therefore force soo by hitting it faster you are hitting it harder

I like being explaines stuff by middle-aged people, cause they have that normal diction and there isn't that self-important, condescending "This is why you're doing xyz wrong!" shit. This is an impeccable explanation, really simple analogy and a patient delivery...and now I've improved my hammer-ons permanently, cause I won't forget this. Thank you, sir.

Wow I just watched all the shorts. These are great

It's so cool to see W. Kanengiser explain it this way. This is exactly the same way that I've been explaining it to my students for the longest time. Then again, I studied with Matthew Grief who happens to have been a classmate of Bill back at USC. Great video!

So profound...simple and effective analogy.

Love the analogies and explanations!

Bill! I hope to see you live again someday.

even though I've been playing guitar for a few years now I've never actually realised this. very helpful!

This guy is really, really good with metaphors.

Great teacher 👏

Thank you, that's great information clearly and simply delivered. As someone who overexplains a lot I appreciate people with coherent explanations.

What a great teacher

Hitting hard is the same as hitting with high speed

I was practising hammer only legato the other day and came to a similar conclusion. But to hear somebody put it in words it's beyond brilliant I'll be taking this in the future thank you very match

Great analogy

Makes sense. Gonna try it! Thank you!

I've found the same it true for playing LOUD rest strokes. You get more volume from faster finger movement.

What a good man, I wish he would be my teacher.

He is right about speed vs strength but the nail and hammer is not a good analogy the nail and hammer have a lot more in physics for example the resistance of the nail pushing through the wood and the immense weight of the hammer head. The real reason that speed is more important for a guitarist hammer on is because if you come down to slow the flesh of your finger is actually going to interrupt the vibrating string by absorbing the energy of its physical oscillation this intern then cuts the Sonic effect of that oscillating string. It is also very good to use speed rather than pressure and weight because it will make you less tired and this is what is known as a more efficient technique.

Omg that was very well taught and how you explained with the hammer and nail that was just top notch anyone could understand it

Thank you for this, I am currently working on a song with very faster hammer ons this is gonna help my a lot!

Yea, this fella speaks my language.

Appreciate this

That is such a good analogy

Great teacher ❤

he's a physicist with a guitar

fantastic tips . Thank you !

This is also why having the thumb behind the neck is best when doing legato!

That is a very very good analogy

Least conservation of momentum

I was just learning my first song with a hammer on and was having trouble getting it consistent. Thanks.

this is how people should teach percussionists

What a perfect comparison!

If you listen to this but not watching the actual video, this can teach you some hot stuff.

That's what she said too...!

I was already doing them correctly, but this is a very nice way to put. I'll use it to explain the technique to other people if need be

Why was I waiting for a shark towards the end

Beautiful

"It's not about how hard you do it, but about how hard you do it."

This helps. Thanks

I really like the hammer analogy. Makes sense lol, it's in the name

Thank u very much sir......

its not the gravity, but the inertia of the hammer

Thanks for not making a Paul Pelosi joke. He took one for us.

By proxy, the faster your finger is moving, the harder it will land...

The ideatore of hammer-on technique esa from m'y city.

This man has never driven a nail in his life lol. He's not wrong though

I’m a carpenter so I play guitar like a saxophone

Thank you maestro, excellent tip. Any news from the great *Anisa Angarola ?*

I always wondered what Teller sounded like

Good tip best in a while

Also helps to have thick calluses then you are practically brushing the strings.

He doesn't know physics. F=ma. He is right not too far from fretboard.

Watch/listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan, he had the best hammer-on you'll ever see/hear. It's absolutely incredible.

Good trick.

Thanks meistro

Please appreciate my efforts

That hammer and nail analogy made no sense

Now do how to slide with accuracy

Yeah! E=mv squared.

So technically it does matter how hard you hit it

Where the f do gravity comes to play in this idea

That’s similar to percussion. Hitting the drum requires velocity, not force.

Paul Pelosi should have done this short

John malkovich!

This is the exact reason why pianists lift and drop their hands with exaggeration rather slamming the keys

Wait! Wait a dern toot'n minit here! "Not how hard you land, but how fast..." All things the same...speed IS what determines "how hard!"

The sound of 2 string not show 😢 on maj7 chord 😢

What's this guys @

🤣 He's so funny

Instructions unclear, destroyed my guitar with a hammer

Learn how to do it "Your Way" and when you master that technique, THEN YOU WILL SOUND LIKE YOU !!!

How fast you move.yoyr finger is the same as how hard you hit it 😭

Are we sure this isn't a comedy short?

Ok I got it. I'll let the natural gravity and weight from my finger to create the perfect hammer on. I was used to just pressing the note quickly and accurately with a finger. This will really help with my pull offs when we can use the anti gravity technique from the rebound of the hammer like when you hit a nail.

Jaws

Oh 😳

Bro, you’re going to teach hammer ons on nylon strings like that?

How does speed not equal hard? 🤔

Overthinking level 1000

Jaws...

It's the same thing More speed = more kinetic energy Stop overexplaining simple mechanics

RANDY JUDAH TORREZ ❤️ < MC Hamer ain't got NOTHING on this DUDE 😆 😂 🤣 But yeah for sure great advice 🎸 💯

Watch Alip Ba Ta... Master of pulloff, hammer On & Harmonic

Watch alip ba ta dude,to learn hamer on

Just play the guitar i wanna hear it godammit

This guy is talking absolute shite. In this context, moving your finger faster means you're hitting the string harder. You need to hit the string hard to make it ring out properly.

The trick is realizing that there are no tricks. Just wave your hands around explaining nonsense.

You sure haven't nail a lot of nails...

Isn't this obvious??

I want you as my school teacher mannnn

So many talking to you with a guitar and hardly a note played... Way more words than notes? ..... Bye

his nails are VERY bad

The man knows his whacking.

and what does he know about this?

Great analogy
