Pentatonic Solo Lesson |

Now, in the run on the B string in the 12 13 17 fret positions, I'm really clumsy there. I've tried to practice it slower, but I seem to not have good tone from the hammer on portion. Not to mention I feel like I'm trying to put a screw in concrete with a plaster cast on my hand...do you have any tips on setup to try and bring the tone to the hammer on, and would I be committing heresy if I were to tap that portion. I'm not a lot better at tapping, but I seem to be able to play it clearly and in time if I tap it. Probably a cop out. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Of course it is perfectly ok if you tap that part, if you think you could come to a better result then go for it. Like this you won't improve your hammering on though
 About this, maybe you need to build up some strength in your fingers first, and for this you of course need practice. You could also try my latest lesson called "Hammer on dude", it has tons of hammering on in the beginning, it might help you.
