The Hammer-on
A hammer on is executed by picking a note and then hammering a left hand finger onto the string. The hammer-on is indicated by a curved line and the symbol H.
Begin by playing the note on the fifth fret, fourth string.
Hammer third finger onto seventh fret of fourth string.
This exercise should help you gain control of hammer-ons.
Now try this 8 bar Blues making use of the hammer-on. Take care with the position shift on the Bchord in bar 6.
Here is another interesting shuffle in E, making use of harmony notes.
