thank god he went so slow. he didnt skip anything or try to rush through it. easy enough for a beginner like me to learn quick. and he put some tricks and trouble shooting in there. good stuff. and he sounds really nice
i have to jump on board with everyone else when they say you are an amazing teacher i dont know how many videos of watched that didnt explain the "pulling down with your finger to make the other note ring" that part in itself was what i needed to hear
u want a good pull off training exercise, try the readymade solo by the red hot chili peppers, for some reason its challenging for me even though a lot of people say its easy
yes Kistarcsa, yes place your index on both strings, but if you have distortion on (assuming this is the solo of Fade to Black or something), then you kind of 'swing' your finger for only ONE string to sound at a time. You don't want to have multiple strings sounding at the same time because it gets noisy.
so hammering on is when you strum then put your finger on another fret but keeping your 1st finger on the fret it was already on and pulling off is the opposite you remove your finger from the fret kindaof going reverse message me if im right
When hammering on you don't have to leave your first finger sense the note that's playing is a higher one and sometimes you need to use it for another note (the first finger). Pulling off like this guy said you should have both fingers in place before playing.
Other then leaving the first finger when hammering on I think you've got it.
It does work on acoustics, its just a little bit harder. Make sure you do put that downwards rpessure that he talks about or the acoustic just won't talk
What i found out was if you hammer on to the fret push up on the string very slightly but not bend it up so the string has a little bit of tenstion on it then pull down slightly and roll your finger off as you release the string , The string will almost FLICK its self
im tryin to play the metal by tenacious d im gonna put it on youtube (with pull offs) and can u plz tell me wat u think before end of feb cause im playin in a talent show its called 'the metal beginner' plz check it out
i have the exact same guitar. and i am forced to play metal on it. yes i cry about it every nite. i sacrificed my dog while masturbating. wat do you want to do about it? i love all of you. your my best super friends. i never had a dog. bye. o yea and haha nice thnx for flipping me off
Great tutorial !!! Thanks a lot. And keep on Christy Music, dude!!! That´s the real music: the music what comes from the heart..(FROM BRAZIL, and sorry by my easy-english)srrsrsr
Thanks mate.. Just thanks. Great tutorial, i've been having that soft/dead note sound, that you described... It was really annoying. Say I would try to do a solo with fast pull-offs, I wouldn't get that pulloff sound.. It was really bugging me. You explained it very well, the flick and all, etc, thanks.
GREAT! the first person who ever explained it in a nice way! Plus, you correctly guessed all the follow-up questions such as dead sound and touching the other strings. Thanx!
Dude, that was amazing. Thanks so much! I've struggled with pull offs being a very casual player, and i've only ever guessed (and played them wrong) what they were from tabs. Thanks again :)
I have a doubt, When I'm doin' a pull off I have to pull down a little bit the string when I'm doin it. Or I just play the string and I drop the string(havin' my finger in the fret I'm gonna drop? As hammer-on but opposite, I only play it and I have to raise the finger¡ OPr exactly what I should do? Answer me plz.
Sorry if my english it's not correct, I hope you can understand me
Si, mira mi pregunta era, cuando hago el pull off se supone que es un hammer invertido, el hammer solo das el golpe ala cuerda, ahora en el pull off es solo levantar el dedo o levantarlo dando un pequeño jaloncito ala cuerda? por qw unos me dicen q es con jalon otros q solo se levanta, podrias ayudarme o si no me entiendes mejor explicarme como lo haces tu
bueno yo también tenía esa duda hace algún tiempo y ahora sé que hay que dare un jaloncito a la cuerda para que suene... de hecho el mismo video te lo explica... ya uqe si solo levantas el dedo va a sonar más despacio.... de hecho la palabra pull significa jalar... :p cualquier otra cosa preguntas :p
Si gracias :D Si es lo q me daba cuenta x q la otra vez estaba yo solo y estaba silencia la casa y me agarre haciendole de las 2 formas y vi q dando el jaloncito c oye mas, bueno gracias man :D!
this video is so damn useful i cant explain. this actually taught me somthing, other videos say "lesson" but i have no idea wtf they are doing. thanks
I don't get it, do you hold 2 fingers on the same string, but when you pull off your first string, try to pull it downwards so when you take it off it hits again? Hit reply if you answer this plz.
pretty much but when u release the string, instead of just lifting your finger off upwards go a bit diagonal so that that its like your finger picks the string a second time, if you touch it again with yours finger your jst going to kill the sound if thats what your saying, and now i think this comment isnt goin to help anyone :P oh well i tryed
You sir, are a god, it took my 15 videos to watch before i came to this and this explained every one of my questions while the others did not. THANK YOU.
