Once you’ve done a hammer-on with your other finger on the other fret, now just pull that finger off the fret, pulling on the string a little with that finger as you do so and letting the note ring. Most hammer-ons are one, two or three frets apart, but if you can do several frets apart (easier on the upper frets), more power to you.Ī pull-off is basically a hammer-on in reverse. Nor does it matter how many frets apart the two notes are-you are bound only by the reach of the fingers of your fretting hand. The original recording of the song is in D minor, using the chords Dm, C, B and F. Now, it doesn’t matter which fingers you use-you can hammer-on with your index and middle fingers index and ring fingers middle finger and pinkie whatever you need to do to get the job done.

Whether this will open up a new front in the culture wars - silence believers versus silence deniers - remains to be seen, but we are reminded of John Cage’s 4′33″, a musical work that comprises four minutes and thirty-three seconds of ‘nothing’.
If you can get the same illusions with silences as you get with sounds, then that may be evidence that we literally hear silence after all.” “Our approach was to ask whether our brains treat silences the way they treat sounds.
