BASIC FACTS ABOUT HAMMERS & PULLS ON GUITAR...
1) Hammer-ons and pull-offs on guitar are extremely difficult to do to - to do well, that is. Unless your fingers have exactly the right training you're going to struggle with them every time you come across them in the music you play.
2) Hammer-ons and pull-offs require extra strength from the small muscles in the hand.
3) Each finger must be able to use that strength without crippling the other fingers with tension or pulling them away from the strings.
4) You need special exercises that are specifically designed to give your fingers this ability.
5) Hammer-On and Pull-Off practice on guitar builds great strength and control into the fingers and you will notice an improvement in everything you play.

Manuel Gonalez/ Guitar Student
Hammer-Ons & Pull-Offs Are A Problem for all guitar students!
As a teacher of ALL styles for over 50 years, I learned that all guitar students find hammer-ons and pull-offs either difficult, or impossible to do!
And I am the type of teacher who is just not happy unless my students are successful on guitar. I cannot tolerate failure on my part when it comes to enabling my students to really do the various skills we must learn on guitar. So, over the years, I made it my business to figure out foolproof methods for training the hand, anyone's hand, to play hammer-ons and pull-offs on guitar, and to play them easily
You've been struggling with hammer-ons and pull-offs long enough, time to stop the struggling
The Typical Lesson On Hammers/Pulls Is Just Not Good Enough!
All you get is tab showing you what your fingers need to do, not HOW to train them to do it!
This Course Is Not Just TAB!...you get detailed instructions on how to use and place each finger for EASY and ACCURATE playing of hammer-ons and pull-offs.
This is what you get with most "lessons" on hammers & pulls. A simple diagram merely showing you where your fingers are supposed to go...and then you try to get your fingers to go there! Yeah, that works!
That would be like taking a golf lesson, and they just show you a picture of the hole the ball is supposed to go in!
With "Hammers & Pulls Essential Training" You Get...
THE anatomy of a hammer-on from an open string
The micro-details of how the fingers need to work when doing hammer-ons from an open string. This is a special, but common variety of hammer-on used on guitar.
When practiced correctly, as you will learn to do, it gives great strength and control to the fingers, far beyond what scale practice achieves.
THE anatomy of a hammer-on from a fretted note
This is the most common type of hammer-on. It requires extra strength and control to perform. It must be practiced in a very careful way, using the "3 Procedures For Hammer-On Practice".
THE 3 PROCEDURES FOR HAMMER-ON PRACTICE
This practice method will insure that your hammer fingers works with precision. Without using this method, your fingers will not have accuracy as they attempt the hammer-on. With this method, your practice will bring powerful results.
how to avoid "joint collapse"
"Joint Collapse" happens to many student fingers. As the finger presses on the string with the extra force required to do a hammer on the middle joint of the finger collapses and ruins the hammer-on.
In this course you will learn how to fix this and avoid it.
THE anatomy of a pull-off
Pull-offs are even more difficult than hammers for student fingers. They require great strength from the fingers, but correct practice of pull-offs gives incredible strength to the fingers.
Put away the "grip trainer" and get super-strong guitar fingers by practicing pull-offs the way you will learn in this course.
advanced hammer-pull combinations
Music where a hammer-on is followed by a pull-off is very common in all styles of music. Here you will find guidance in how to do all possible finger combinations of this important and advanced technique.
What You'll Learn In
"Hammers & Pulls Essential Training"...
ccdddYOU WON'T FIND THIS KNOWLEDGE ANYWHERE ELSE!
PRECISE FINGER BY FINGER DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO PLAY HAMMERS & PULLS LIKE A PRO!
Nothing is left to chance, nothing is left un-explained about how to do every type of hammer-on and pull-off.
Every exercise and every practice method is clearly demonstrated to make it easy for you to train your fingers for easy and accurate hammer-ons and pull-offs.
HOW TO BUILD FINGER SPEED
You will learn the step-by-step practice methods that build speed and finger control with all finger combinations of hammer-ons and pull-offs.
Speed must be developed carefully using step-by-step methods. You will learn those methods in this course.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOR ELECTRIC GUITAR
The technique for doing hammers & pulls is different for electric guitar than acoustic. You will learn why your hand should first develop strength with hammers & pulls on an acoustic guitar.
Then, you will learn how to adjust your hand and finger position for doing these essential techniques on electric guitar.
A Major Problem: When you do hammers & pulls, the fingers you are not using will tense up and stick up in the air. This is very bad, because those fingers will need to play next, after the hammer or pull, and they will have lots of trouble doing it. This causes lots of playing mistakes.
No Other Exercise Will Train Your Inactive Fingers To Stay Relaxed and Ready to Play As The Active Finger Hammers Or Pulls
Hammer-On & Pull-Offs Essential Training
a game changer for guitar students
Video 1: Hammers To An Open String with 1
With this exercise, we start training your fingers to stay relaxed and close to the strings during hammer ons. You will keep non-hammering fingers touching an adjacent string while performing the 3 Procedures For Hammer-On Practice.
Video 2:
Hammers To An Open String with 2,3,and 4
We continue to train each finger to stay relaxed while other fingers hammer and/or pull. This is extremely important, because tension induced in the inactive fingers is a major cause of mistakes in playing. Why?
Well, because those fingers are going to be used next - and if they are tense you will not be able to control and use them.
Video 3: Hammer-Ons From A Fretted Note With 1-4
This is the most common type of hammer-on, where a finger is fretting a note, and another finger hammers. It is necessary to train each pair of fingers to do this. This is the first finger combination, fingers 1 and 4.
Video 4: Hammer-Ons From A Fretted Note With 1-3
The big challenge when hammering with the 3rd finger is keeping the little finger relaxed and close to the strings. When the ring finger hammers, the little finger will pull away from the string. That is a problem when the little finger is needed next!
You will teach your little finger to stay relaxed when 3 hammers by using the "touching technique" taught in this course.
Video 5: Hammer-Ons From A Fretted Note With 1-2
The big challenge when hammering with the 2nd finger is keeping the ring finger relaxed and close to the strings. When the 2nd finger hammers, the ring finger will pull away from the string. That is a problem when the ring finger is needed next!
You will teach your ring finger to stay relaxed when 2 hammers by using the "touching technique" taught in this course.
Video 6: Building Speed With 2 Finger Hammers
The secret of mastering any technique on guitar is to learn it super slowly at first -then build speed gradually using the metronome.
You will learn exactly how to do that with all 2 finger hammer combinations.
Video 7: Making Weak Fingers Strong
Your ring finger and little finger are weak and hard to control. This causes lots of mistakes and playing problems.
You will learn how to strengthen these weak fingers with the careful practice methods that must be used to make these fingers stronger than you ever thought possible.

You will learn how to begin pull-off practice correctly in this video.
Video 11: Pull Offs From A Fretted Note
Pull-offs to a fretted note build great finger strength. They require the vigorous action of 2 fingers. One is called the pulling finger, the other is called the receiving finger.
Each finger must perform its role perfectly. You will learn how to do that in this video.
Video 12: Building Speed With 2 Finger Pull-Offs
I guide you as you build speed on all finger combinations using the Basic Practice Approach. Nothing is left to chance in your practice as you see me do each finger combination from slow to fast.

Bar Chords Have Never Been Broken Down
To This Level of Detail Before
Did you know there are many types of bar chords? In order to play the songs you love, you need to know...
The Curved Bar
This bar type should be used for the common 6th & 5th Root Major Chords. It is easier on the hand than the flat bar.
The Flat Bar
This bar type takes the most strength and should only be used when necessary. Some bar chords need it, some don't.
The 3 String Bar
This bar type requires a specific use of the finger joints. You will learn how to use your finger to do this often used bar type easily.
The 4 String Bar
For this bar type a flat bar must be used. Certain hand muscles must be strengthened to do this chord easily.
The 3rd Finger Bar
The 3rd finger must do a bar for many of the chord types you will need. The arm weight must be leveraged, and the finger joints must bend in certain precise ways.
The Inside Bar
Here the index finger bars the inside strings. This is needed for certain chords, like this first position a chord.
Tension In
The Non-Barring Fingers
The greatest obstacle to easy bar chords is tension in the non-barring fingers. Here we see great tension, making the fingers squeeze against the bar. Look familiar?
No Tension In
The Non-Barring Fingers
This is what your non-barring fingers should look like, and what they will look like after you do the exercises in "Bar Chord Mastery".

About the Teacher
The guitar instruction that Jamie Andreas has created has long been recognized for its uniqueness and effectiveness. As concert artist and teacher Vicki Genfan said:
"Jamie has challenged every major conception about every teaching method ever invented for guitar... and I think she's right.
I love her work and preach it all the time!"
"There's hardly any students I don't recommend look at her work. It made a light bulb go off for me"!
"The more I talked to Jamie, the more impressed I became"...Dr. Gary Marcus, Guitar Zero, Penguin Books
Jamie was interviewed by Dr. Gary Marcus for his classic work, "Guitar Zero", on the science of how adults learn a complex skill like guitar. He said: "Jamie is one of the few teachers who seems interested in the relationship between muscle and brain, and how to use one’s body efficiently.
Swim coaches and golf teachers consider such questions all the time, but it’s decidedly rare in the field of music instruction.
She views guitarists the way auto mechanics look at cars; she recognized a host of common problems, has a set of tools for diagnosis, and had a matching set of tricks for making things right.
What Makes Guitar Principles Different?
We Build Guitar Players...Step by Step!
Its simple. All other guitar instruction merely shows you what you are supposed to do (get the golf ball in the hole, big help). Guitar Principles shows you how to get your fingers to do what they need to do.
Guitar Principles instruction is unlike anything else. Our methods solve every problem real guitar students have in trying to learn to play the guitar.
