And here is everything else you need to know. Enjoy!

📈 Difficulty

3/10 (This gives you a rough idea of how difficult it is. If you feel it’s actually easier, great. If not, don’t feel bad.)

⏰ Time Estimation

1 Week (This is a rough estimation that can vary widely. If you’re faster, great. If not, don’t feel bad.)

💪 Action Steps

1. Get comfortable playing hammer-ons while holding C (as demonstrated in the video).

2. Get comfortable playing pull-offs while holding C (as demonstrated in the video).

3. Practice bars 1-4 of the application.

4. Practice bars 5-8 of the application.

5. Practice bars 9-12 of the application.

6. Practice bars 13-16 of the application.

7. Put everything together and play the entire piece.

✏️ Extra Tips

• Have your left-hand fingernails short. Long fingernails push your fingers away from the fretboard. You can’t arch them as much as needed here.

• When doing hammer-ons, once your finger hits the string, don’t press it down more than you normally would. It sounds better and is more efficient.

• When doing pull-offs, pull at the string a little and then let it roll off your fingertip. Just going straight away from the fretboard won’t give you any sound. It’s a curved motion.

🎯 Encouragement

These 2 techniques make the guitar sound like we all love it. Hammer-ons and pull-offs in combination with fingerpicking are an extra challenge (as you usually need to keep holding down a chord). You got this! The reward at the end of this is big.
