Hammer-Ons, Slides, & 12-Bar Blues
beginner guitar
This lesson is for members
In this action-packed lesson, I'm going to give you three great exercises! The first one concentrates on playing hammer-ons, using all the fingers and all different strings. The second one is similar, except with slides. The third exercise is a great little 12-bar blues exercise that incorporates the hammer-on and slide knowledge we've already learned.

Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
