I recorded this casual Q&A reply, where I talk through each of these techniques and give some general advice for each. To be clear, these are all techniques that can take a while to get comfortable with. Sometimes they come easier, while in other circumstances they're quite difficult. Fear not, as I'll walk you through how to think about & practice them, big-picture. 0:00 Lesson Summary 2:32 Hammer-Ons 8:38 Pull-Offs 18:45 Bends Thanks all, enjoy ✌️ David Pots // songnotes.net
