a li'l help wid hammerin n pull off

yes, i do understand y v hammer n pull off. 1.it makes guitarin easier and 2. it sounds amazin. a lot better dan pickin da separate frets in order.

da only thing im havin a prob wid is... i dun get a proper sound while i play 7h8p7p5. da sound is dampened way 2 quick. but well, i'l juz continue practicin it until i get it right. thanx 2 all da suggestions provided by dese guyz n da support, i'l get it rite pretty soon

but well, i started learnin da finger-pickin techniques n all dat stuff only 2day.. frm sum websites. so hopefully, i'l also clarify dis wid my master n perfect dat b4 playin nothin else matters.... :beer:

 

Try reading my article on Hammering and pul off on the Begin Q&A forum...

 

i read dat 1 looooong ago, dood. but juz coz u said it, i read it once more. n hey, i think i understand all dat stuff. da ONLY problem im havin rite now... (i think im sayin dis 4 da 1008th time now in dis thread).. is dat i cant get a proper sound. dats IT.... i think my method's ok. juz dat da sound dampens quick. i need 2 prolong da sound or finish off da hammerin n pull offs quicker.. been kinda buzy.... wil try it out 2nite prob.

got a weekend... wooohooo... damn, juz been a few days since coll reopened n im gettin back 2 da regular routine of hatin it

 

n jay, u havnt posted yer procedure yet...

 

I will post. Sorry for the delay.. There seems to be prob at home internet.. Here at work its slower.. So i need to finish my stuff first...

 

if ya think ur method is correct..then u prolly need to increase ur finger strength
n also check the action of ur guitar...

 

wat do i hafta chek abt da action of my guitar? how is it supposd 2 b?? i thot it waz ok....

 

action can b defined as playability, it determines how much u haveta exert onthe strings to push 'em down to the frets...

here..these measurements may b some help....

measurements are for medium action:
(adding or subtracting 1/64 in. (0.4mm) will change the action to high or low)

(for body fret)

electric -
Bass E - 6/64 in. (2.38mm)
Treble E - 4/64 in. (1.59mm)

flat-top acoustic -
Bass E - 8/64 in. (3.18mm)
Treble E - 6/64 in. (2.38mm)

classical -
Bass E - 10/64 in. (3.97mm)
Treble E - 8/64 in. (3.18mm)

just check if ur guitar's action's 2 high...

 

or just look at it horizontally from the end of the guitar head.... if it looks fine, it usually is ok... or else just take it to a decent store and get it checked.

 

i kinda kno wat action is. am i actually supposed 2 MEASURE IT?! i thot u juz kinda gauge it wid yer eyes, man.. well, doin DAT, i think mine's ok.. not 2 high. well, il measure it nehow.. thanx. :beer:

 

Try using a Vernier Calipers and measure the Action.. And Reduce slowly till you just manage to miss the Buzzing sound..

 

iv seen/used vernier calipers only in my coll phy labs. n i dun hav da habit of flickin stuff frm coll... gimme a better suggestion, jay!!!

(comin 2 think of it, i actually brought home a coupla mouse balls frm my comp lab in skool hehehe... )

 

Been THere Too.. Try using your finger and get the action.. Just tune down the stringsa and lower the bridge till you manage to miss a buzz.. THe buzz which come because the strings touch the first few Frets or Manes.. If you get the Buzz, Perfection your action by removing it..
