Guitar Lesson Overview
Here is a cool hammer-on and pull-off exercise. I got this from Angus Young. He uses a similar thing in Thunderstruck, but even many years before that song, I heard him do similar things, that time just legato, using no pick.
It's a good strengthening exercise. Your left hand fingers will not only get stronger over time if you do this regularly, but your coordination and execution will get sharper and more accurate.
I highly recommend you work on exercises such as this as part of your practice routine. You can of course pick any notes you want - I just chose these because of the obvious and cool Angus Young connection, but you can try other notes if you like. For example, try two notes are are adjacent (one fret after another), in which case you will likely use the index finger and the middle finger. Or try 2 notes with one fret in between, where using the index finger and the ring finger will probably be best.

For your next lesson, could you please walk us through what you played at 5:40 (or suggest which prior video might cover it)? That close-out lick is so cool.
