The Pull Off

The Pull-off is the oppisite of the hammer-on. To play a pull-off, follow these steps:

Play the first note as usual.

Maintain pressure, as you quickly "pull" thaat left hand finger off the string, sounding the second (lower) note on the same string.

Pull-offs can be played from fret to fret, or from a fretted note to an open string. Regardless of fingering, you'll always pull off from a higher to a lower note. Use the initial attack (on the first note) to carry the tone.

Tip: When possible place both fingers on their respective frets before pulling off from one note to the next.
