I got a recent question from Song Notes member Alan, who asked for general tips when it comes to learning tricky "articulation" bits such as hammer-ons, pull-offs, bends, and so forth. I recorded this casual Q&A reply, where I talk through each of these techniques and give some general advice for each. To be clear, these are all techniques that can take a while to get comfortable with. Sometimes they come easier, while in other circumstances they're quite difficult. Fear not, as I'll walk you through how to think about & practice them, big-picture.
