I have tons of great lessons at Master Guitar Academy. Join me there - it's where you can learn with me every week. That's also where all my DVDs and Premium Downloads are.

Playing pull-offs and hammer-ons are a huge part of my style of playing. In this lesson, I'm showing a few ideas of how you can use pull-offs to play through the E minor pentatonic scale (in one position). I use this technique all the time when I play.
For me, this technique is so much easier than alternate picking, and I also prefer the sound of using this technique. Alternate picking can sound very robotic at times, and using pull-offs and hammer-ons open up the sound much more, at least to my ears. Plus, I really suck at alternate picking... there you have it!
By the way, I will cover hammer-ons in a future lesson.
I highly recommend you buy Guitar Pro - it's the best software I have found for learning guitar. Many of my lessons come with Guitar Pro files. You can download a trial version on the Guitar Pro website to see if you like it (I think you will).
This is where I teach full time. Join me, and let me help you become the player you always wanted to be. I will teach you scales, improvisation, grooves, phrasing, chords, licks, solos, songs, lines, inversions, voicings, theory, tone, gear, and much more.
Just try me - it costs nothing to test drive my site for 3 days.
I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.
Nice to see a new clip.........thought your were toast there for a while!
