[paigep17]

lol I got lead here from the bass tab site I was on :] hi jody..

[MrAltereg0]

@nirvanapixiesmisfits i have one ty for answering 

[sykhophaunt7]

do u need a distortion pedal or something to hammer on or just an amp ..??? cos when i try it the sound is very faint even if a bang the string on full volume on the amp ... plz reply someone ..

[MrAltereg0]

ok do hammer on on acoustics sound as loud

[randomocity3000]

how do substain that sound cuz it fades after like 5 hammerons

[jman47773]

i didnt get any of this i got to it from the tab site fret play and it still makes no sence!!!!

[Shakcountant]

does this work without an amp?

because when i put down the second finger, it makes a VERY faint sound.

[bajeatu11]

@Shakcountant not rly this is a technique used frequently on electrics...it also works on acoustic but as u said it is a "faint sound"

[Tepachlol]

Thanks.

[junk3m0]

i did it!!!!!!

[HFcinfinity]

My hammerons are so quiet :(

[Synyster213]

@HFcinfinity Turn up on the volume in your AMP! Also just practice dude, my shit was like a baby hammer on lol, I was pissed off but keep on practicing and eventually it increase it's volume, believe me. I'm a beginner and I am practicing on basics always(:

[rhn94]

@K1rkHammet lube used in sex ..

[HaraldBoysProduction]

@K1rkHammet

just play often.. i was bad to but ive improved:D

[dsfkjsdfakjskjhasdf]

@K1rkHammet

stroke the salami more often

[RSsipthis]

@K1rkHammet

Long form major and minor arpeggios.

[Deussol]

@K1rkHammet been playing for years and years now i find the only thing that helped me alot with moving fast what you do is just pick a fret slide from open to it and then play a small scale that you know repeat that over and over till you feel like hitting you're face off a wall when you hit that point you will be much faster haha.

[Khronospite]

@K1rkHammet i thought youre kirk hammet why do you need lessons

[Zam0rak41]

@K1rkHammet Try to turn around your guitar, maybe you're not handed what you thought you were :s

[K1rkHammet]

@Zam0rak41 lol... I am a beast now at guitar. But anyways, thanks for a 2year2late reply ! :D

[Zam0rak41]

@K1rkHammet Lol, wel I'm not, but what handed are you actually?

[K1rkHammet]

@Zam0rak41 I play the normal way ofc ! I fret with my left hand and pluck with the right hand as simple as !

[Mailyn666]

@K1rkHammet just because about 90% of the world population is right handed, doesn't mean that is "normal" ;)

[Kaycorpse90]

das ist gut für die die klein anfangen wollen Nice

[lovethemack]

thanks for the hep!

[XxByakushiv2]

your banging it down ehh? ;)

im so immature :)

thanks tho. it helped me with my hammer-ons :)

[buster541]

This is a great lesson. I didnt know at the time, when I was learning to pick, these were hammer ons. I thought my self to play by ear. I set and practice this method for two days, till I could do it and keep in tempo to a song. I only need to learn how to do pull offs now.
