This lesson is for members
Hammer-ons are a fret hand ornament that, like slides & pull-offs, helps us play a note that we do not pick. In this lesson we cover the technique, some exercises, & apply to a tune!

Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.
