Hammer-ons and pull-offs on the high E string

[Ben Thorpe]

I can pull hammer-ons and pull-offs on all other strings fairly copetently, but I can’t seem to pull them off on the high E string. Does anyone else find this difficult? Anyone who can do them can you please give me some tips? Thanks!

It definitely requires a lighter touch than the other strings because it’s so thin. Repetition, repetition, repetition. It may sound tedious, but just keep hammering on the note until you start to get closer to how you want it to sound in the end, and then just keep doing it until you’ve got it down. Same with pulloffs. I remember having this exact issue. Just keep working at it and you’ll get there in no time.

It happens from time to time that I roll the string of the edge when doing a pull off on the high e. I try to focus on holding the note I pull off to tightly and pull off just gently.
