Re: Group 1 Mix of the hammer-ons and pull-offs. The biggest challenge is to hit the open string on the higher frets (position 7 and higher). Especially for the pinky finger.

Re: Group 1 Hammer ons. The sound became more clear. The mental trick I used is aiming to hit the string somewhere below the fretboard. Just because at the very beginning the body tended to slow the finger down…

Re: Group 1 So here are the results of 11 days of trainings with the pauses because I overtrained the hand somewhere in-between. Pull-offs. Still struggling with 3-4. 2-4 work much better already.…

Re: Group 1 @Martin Does that mean I have to hit the nails now? Because at this point of time my body instinctively makes a small angle. But I feel that this angle impacts the sound.…
