There are several types of "tricks" used by guitarists when playing solo guitar. One is called a "hammer-on" and another called a "pull-off".

Implementation hammer-ons and pull-offs not only improve your speed when you play guitar, make your game type fluid and produce a sound different than if you play the notes individually.

A simple hammer-ons:

E 0 ——- —————————– H2

B 0 ——– —————————– H2

H2 G 0 ——– ——————————

D —————————— 0 ——– H2

A 0 ——————————- ——– H2

E 0 ——– ——————————- H2

From the high E string, and continuing through the ropes, pick the open string, then "hammer" your finger on the 2nd fret without picking it up. Try to do the 'hammer', enter the same volume as the open chain chosen.

Some pull-off:

E 0 ——— ——————————— P2

B 0 ——— ——————————– P2

G 0 ——— ——————————— P2

D 0 ——— ——————————— P2

A 0 ——— ——————————— P2

E 0 ——— ——————————— P2

Again, from the high E string with the start of your 2nd finger and collect the note. Then, "movie" the finger of the fret to produce the note open string without picking up the note. No film too – strong enough to produce a good tone in the second note.

Then try this:

E – 1 —————— ————————– H4

B – 1 —————— ————————– H4

G – 1 ———– ——————————— H3

D – 1 ———– ——————————— H3

A – 1 ———– ——————————— H3

E – 1 ——————- ————————- H4

This, of course, is a pentatonic scale. Use the selection of all 1 notes fret, and hammer fret all the notes 3 and 4. You should end with the two fingers still on guitar (chain chain).

Now, using the same scale, do pull-offs. To do this, you must have their fingers on the frets of those involved, for starters. For example, in the first fret, you'll start with the finger of his 1st fret on the 1st and 4th finger on 4th fret. Then you can choose the notice that your toe is in 4th, then shake the first finger.

As a bit of a finger twister exercise, try alternating hammer-ons and pull-off:

E 1.4 chain hammer

4.1 B chain pull-off

1.3 G string hammer

Flush 3.1 D-off

A string 1-3 hammer

4.1 E string pull-off

If you are not used to do this start slowly and get all the notes clear and even sound. Then, gradually increase your pace until you can play these very fast. The key word here is gradual. You can not play fast if you can not play slow.

If you has an electrical system, try putting up your amp to a good overdrive or distortion. Judge your progress in technique and adjust accordingly. We take into account that do these things at high volume and distortion levels tend to hide mistakes and bad technique. If you can perform hammer-ons and pull-offs and in an environment clean, which sounds much better when Crank It Up Work on proper technique and not short cuts.
