In this beginner guitarist tutorial, Leigh Fuge from musicteacher.com shows us how to play hammer ons on guitar! Hammer ons are a vital technique for all guitar players to get under their fingers. The hammer on comes from a family of techniques known as legato, which means to join together.
A hammer on is when you pick a note anywhere on the guitar, and using your fretting hand, hammer onto another note without picking the string again. The motion of hammering onto the string creates more energy in the string which sounds the second note.
Watch this video to master the basics of hammer ons and help incorporate them into your playing, giving you another arsenal in your toolkit!
