Clawhammer Question & Answer

My opinion page addressing inquiries concerning clawhammer technique.



Do you have any advise an how to clean up my pull-offs and hammer-ons?


When pulling off, make sure that you "pluck" the string with the left hand finger as you remove it from the string. Don't just "lift" the finger from the string.

An excellent exercise is to practice pull-offs and hammer-ons from a "dead" string (one that hasn't been struck with the right hand). When you can get a clear sound from a "dead" string, you should no long have problems getting your pulls and hammers to ring out clearly.
