How to Hammer On
No hammer needed, just your finger!
To play a hammer on*, playing 2 notes with 1 string vibration, simply follow these 5 steps:
1. Play string 1, open, then quickly & strongly place your finger on fret 1
2. Practice this, be sure you’re only playing the string 1 time
3. Play this skill using neighboring frets
4. Check the volume of the string sound, it should be even and clear
5. Try this with chords, i.e. hammer on the 5th string of the G chord.
Play on…
