Hammer-ons are something every guitarist needs to be good at in order to freely play. The technique of hammer-ons and all legato lies in how your finger approaches the string. Get the position right and the legato will be flawless…get it wrong and you’ll sound like an amateur. Speed and acceleration are critical to success so make sure your hammer-ons attack with force and power. Landing on the tip of the finger is the best technical change you can make to ensure flawless hammer ons every time!
