Welcome aboard Nancy ... *waves from NYC*

My goodness. I'm a little surprised at some of the replies. I've always been told "search is your friend" and have found it often pays-off :-)

They may be somewhat hidden but a search for the word tips in BOTH Articles and lessons found a number of videos as follows:

Hammer-Ons
http://www.totallyguitars.com/free-guit ... hammer-ons

Pull-Offs
http://www.totallyguitars.com/free-guit ... -pull-offs

Hammer On Pull Off Combinations

Hope that helps!

So while were getting those tips tracked down, it occured to me that back in the earlier days, I recall a "fly on the wall" video of you Neil, teaching your son how to play "your mama don't dance" and now I can't find it. Send the scouts into the cellar and dig that one up too please.

Nancy,

From memory 'Here comes the sun' has a great explanation of the pull-off too. And there's a hammer on as well (I can't remember if it's explained).


Ken - searching you say. Hmmm... Interesting. You never know it could take off. I seem to be a fan if the stumble-around-in-the-dark-until-you-find-it-or-forget-what-you're-looking-for technique. But, searching... Very sophisticated. You have my vote.

First I really want to thank Ken for tracking down the ole Quick Tips Series. We will get those back on the easy to find menus soon.

Then we may have to call in Heinrich Schliemann to dig for those clips of me and Cory working on Jimmy Messina's tune. I'm sure with today's search technology we can find him...
