  • Whenever I try hammering on on my acoustic the sound doesn't seem as loud as it could be, am i doing something wrong? I am pressing the hammer on pretty hard.

  • hi i currently have a washburn wpj 5sb and i find it hard to hammer on. By that i mean the note i hammer on is not as audible as i'd like it to be. By the time i pull off i almost cant hear a thing. I am using the default strings, the daddario exp phosphor or something. Can someone recommend me some strings that allow for better hammer ons and pull offs? or is my guitar just not good?

  • Is the high e supposed to be ringing out on the e11,e major and the e sus 4? I dont understand how that is supposed to happen.

    Nope, Behringer sucks. They can only make good headphones lol.. if you are beginner with a small budget go for Epiphone, Cort, Yamaha, Squier Ibanez (For some metal), that are some good guitar brands, you can also have a look on Thomann.

  • Hey Dave, since this is about sharing I thought I'd share something that helped me. I normally play the A chord with one finger barred, I've seen lots of other people do the same. That being said, it won't work with your progression, so…. because of large fingers the index, middle, ring finger is just complicated to play clean. But I found if I use middle, ring, pinky, it's much easier, it's a bit different than I've seen anyone else use, thought I'd share.
    Rock On

  • how come its intermediate yet you spend so much time telling us how to mute E string when playing E bar chord which isnt THAT easy for any newbie anyway? (one of all those irrationalities here)

  • wow, I didn't realise my hamme-ons were this sucky! I will practise this from now on! Thank you David!

  • @aleyhetfield umm ohkay. The key of A major is the scale in which the sclae begins on A. they key has three sharps in the scale f#, c#, and g#. this therefore follows the whole step-whole step- half step- whole step- whole step- whole step- half step.
    this starting on A will be A-B-C#-D-E-F#-G#-A. if you look at a piano and look at the pattern you'll understand it. it makes life easier if you learn for some music theory while you watch these guys vids

  • @itsmrcriz A little over a year. I can play barre cords, but just the Emaj alone is difficult, forget about hitting the hammer on with any accuracy.
