Good Songs for Hammer On's amd Pull Off's?

[OctoRock]

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

Santeria by Sublime has a few

 

[OctoRock]

Thanks! That's a great song by the way

 

[MRDOOM]

Even though it seems like everyone in the world can play it, Californication by RHCP.

'Three Days' by Janes Addiction

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez 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.

AEnema by Tool is hammers ons and pull offs with some tremelo picking thrown in.

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.

bout 1:38

On the easy slap side of things I always think 'Love Zone' by Billy Ocean - bass candy from the first note.

Almost anything by Tool will do, but Schism is a good "lesson".

Rush-YYZ

 

[David1234]

Middle Man by Living Colour

 

[Beowulf Kingsle]

I would suggest Rain by The Beatles. Great bass line to learn in any case!

 

[bobsacamano]

Beowulf I was about to say the same thing but you beat me to it.
