Learn and practice Hammer Ons and Flick Offs, more great embellishments to have at your fingertips.
Hammer ons are when a note is played and then a second note is sounded by hammering down a finger on the same string at a higher fret.
Flick offs aka pull offs are the reverse of this. The higher note is picked and then flicked off to a lower note.
