Hammer-ons and pull-off: the same whether they are "alternate string" effects or not

I pointed out in a thread on Banjo Hangout that pulling off is the same whether it's done on the string struck by the right hand or on a different string (so-called "alternate string" pulls); what changes is the right hand, not the left. To clarify, I made this short clip, from which it is clear that the left hand doesn't change--the only difference is which string the unseen right hand is striking. Note this is also true for hammering onto right-hand-struck-or-not strings.

Like the baby wah-wah effect in the background. Can you get him to do that on command?

One of the dangers of having the baby monitor in my office... He was just drifting off for a nap. :-)
