Combination of Trick 2, 3 & 4
To accomplish this technique requires patience and practice because for it to sound right it must be done fast.
Using the index of your fingering hand fret the first note indicated in Example #1 (click the image to view #2).
Now using the middle finger of your pick hand Finger Tap (Hammer-0n) the second note indicated, then immediately Pull-Off that second note with the same finger so that the first note sounds. As the first note sounds you immediately Hammer-0n the third note indicated using the ring finger of your fingering hand. So that frets the first note, Finger Tap(Hammer-on), Pull-off, Hammer-0n. It feels awkward at first but persevere, since you now know the mechanics you will get it with practice. Timing is Important!
Please Note: - Some artists use their pick sometimes instead of their middle finger. (Carlos Cavazo/Quiet Riot)
- The middle finger (pick hand) may be moved up or down to create the ascending or descending sound. You may also move your fingering hand up or down. Experiment.
- Example is on G string. May also be played on B & E strings.
