A lesson for slurs (hammer-ons & pull-offs) for classical guitar. How to play ascending and descending slurs and exercises for beginner and intermediate students.

Slur Definition – A slur is a symbol in musical notation that indicates a legato articulation. On guitar it is also a specific technique used to accomplish the musical result. A slur is shown in notation with a curved line placed over or under the notes. The common result of playing slurs on the guitar is to facilitate legato and sometimes, if wanted, create a strong to weak sound between notes. However, depending on your technique, the notes can either be strong-weak or quite even in sound.

Ascending Slurs (Hammer-ons) on Guitar – Occur from a low pitch to a higher pitch. This involves playing the first pitch as normal while the subsequent notes are played with only the left hand snapping into the fret to create the next note. See video.

Descending Slurs (Pull-offs) on Guitar – Occur from a high pitch to a lower pitch. This involves playing the first pitch as normal while the subsequent notes are played with only the left hand plucking the string with a pull-off motion to create the next note. See video.
