The Mechanics of Hammer ons and Pull offs

[mark wein]

I was going to cover something else this week but I've gotten a ton of questions about legato playing this week so I figured I would answer them in my blog.

The old video lesson that I reference in the video can be found here:http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/showthread.php?27271-The-Mechanics-of-Hammer-ons-and-Pull-offs

Also, Adam Lopez (known here as adlo76) is also doing video lessons on my site now...he did a few batch of lesson on Honky Tonk Rhythm Guitar that are going into the free section as something of a teaser for his lesson modules in our online school but since they're free I figured I'd share them here, too!

As I get them built we'll share the whole series here :)

That is another good one for drilling basic skills, and I like how you matched it up with the timing exercise.

I like the Lopez honky tonk lesson too. That technique, especially with the open ringing strings, makes me think of Happy Traum.

Thanks!

I dig that Adam is teaching this stuff in particular. It's amazing how hard something so simple can be sometimes.

+1 While my hammer-ons and pull-off's aren't at the master level, I'm at least comfortable with them. The most useful part of the lesson will be the timing exercise using all 4 fingers. :AOK

I like the honkey tonk lesson because it bolsteres what I'm already doing with open E and E shaped chords/bar chords. The small details (pick attack, muting) Adam brings up actually helped the most.

Thanks, Mark!!!

Thanks all! This is actually my first time to this site, but I will try and add it to my daily rounds ;) Appreciate the kind words on the lessons. I look forward to bringing more to MWGL soon and improving the quality of them as we move forward. Feel free to drop me a line anytime if any of you have any questions or help regarding my video lessons!

Welcome to The Fret, Adam! Great to have you here. Be sure to post a link to where your lessons are stored (youtube channel).

I lived in Tulsa way back in '82-'83 during the original Crystal Pistol days.
