Similar to the bend there is no way to express the proper tablature version of a hammer on online. On the internet you will see it noted by the letter 'h'. The 'h' will always appear right before the note that's to be hammered. In real tablature the hammer on is noted with an arc that is above the two notes. A hammer on involves two or more notes but you only have to pick the string once. Using the example from above; here is how it works. Your 1st finger presses down on the 5th fret, you pick the string, your 3rd finger hammers down on the 7th fret, you also continue to press down on the 5th fret with your first finger. Play a hammer on: 1. Place your first finger on the 5th fret of the 2nd string. 2. Pick the second string. 3. Continue to hold down the 5th fret; slam your 3rd finger on to the 7th fret. You don't really have to slam your finger down I'm just trying to explain it... |
