hammer on, pull off
by kibbytown (Feb 20, 2012)
I came up with a pretty cool lick just funkin around on my guitar in Bm. Pretty simple, but not necessarily easy, at the speed I play it at.
the first part starts with a Bm7 chord then goes into a lick using the Bm pentatonic scale with a hammer-on/slide after picking the B string, then you pick the 5th fret on the e string, hammer-on to the 7th, then pull it all off:
When starting off learning this technique, i found it easier to skip the open B and start on the 3rd fret on the B.
after the lick, i continue with the chord progression (Bm A G F#M7) and a few other licks. Comment if you would like to know the rest of the licks in this riff. Hope you enjoy!
