Hammer-Ons

Here again the technique is fairly easy to explain yet takes time to master. Start slowly and gradually increase your speed. Fret the first note indicated on the tablature with your index finger and pick it.

Immediately after you pick the first note bring your ring finger down like a little hammer to strike and hold the next note indicated.  You only pick the first note once. Hammer-ons may be executed in the 3 fret positions ahead of your index finger.

Try the examples on the right.
