Sign in to disble this ad
I am trying to get better at them and I was wondering if you could suggest me some songs, both easy and hard that will help me get better at Hammer on's and pull off's. Or at least something the practise them with.
~Thanks |

|  | TalkBass' resident Bongo + Cowbell player | | Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Bucaramanga, Colombia, South A | | This is an exercise I always recommend. The point is: No plucking hand allowed. You get the first D by striking the G string at the 7th fret with your fretting hand's index finger alone and from there you get the rest of the notes by hammering/pulling using the one finger per fret technique, and being your goal to make them sound the loudest you can. Again, no plucking hand allowed (you can use it to avoid sympathetic ringing from the idle strings). 
Hope this helps. |

| | | American life by primus is not only good for hammer ons and such. it will really help with coordination between you RH and LH when you get the technique down. i suggest watching how les does it have fun and good luck.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWiigaVF7w8
