Guitar Lesson Overview
Guitar Pull-offs
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.
Guitar Pro and PDF files
Download Guitar Pro
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).
