Its just matter of taste and feeling..You can pick those notes but it will sound different..You can play a solo without vibrato or bends too but it won't be the same

Pull offs and hammer on sound a bit smoother. And for that matter you could pick up speed aswell which could be a nice side effect
But I'd say whether you want to pick or pull off is entierly up to you and what style you want to adopt. If you can and want to pick every note, that's fine. If you find it easier to pick everything that's fine too. As far as I'm concerned it's what comes out in the end that matters. And if you can get your picking to sound the same as a hammer on there's no loss. Parking front end first or reversing into the spot both gets the car parked, just differently but the purpose was met. Then if you reverse too close towards a wall or the car behind you and your trunk opens swinging the door sideways, like some stationwagons, vans and SUV's, you might want to reconcider which method is better. -------------------- My bands homepage

Pulling off gives a totally different feel/phrase to the notes being played than if you pick them, I wouldnt say that it was always "easier" to do it this way either. I'm in total agreement on that it's not always easier. Concider alternate picking where a pull off/hammer on should be counted and you still do the pick movement with your hand you have to miss the string. Or even if you don't move and miss you have to count it so you don't get into the picking the opposite way to how it was supposed to be. mind: 4/4 pick - hammer on - pick - pick down - miss - down - up means you shouldn't pick - rest - pick - pick down - rest - up - down then you'd start off the next beat with an up pick... and then you're lost. -------------------- My bands homepage

Neither technique is substitute for the other...Overall mixing of all of them will give you feeling and personal touch in your playing..

Legato technique is not easier then alternate picking, it is just different. Everything should be practiced equally.
