Bass Guitar Secrets How to Start From Scratch and Quickly and Dramatically Ignite Your Bass Playing Skills...

Hammer-on and pull of exercise

Below is an exercise that will not only help you with hammer-ons and pull-offs, but also help develop your overall left hand technique. Even though this exercise is written in tablature format starting at the first fret, you may want to play this exercise a little higher on the neck of the bass. So consider the number that you see as the fingers you should use rather that necessarily having to play this in the first position. Each hammer-on and pull-off combination should be played at least 2 times. Of course more repetitions are better.
