SkillShare Bends Slides Hammer-On's and Pull-Offs on Guitar TUTORiAL

One of the crucial skills that moves a beginner guitarist into the intermediate realm is learning to execute hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides and bends. These skills offer a range of sonic possibilities while also imparting undeniable style to our playing. This course offers you the opportunity to develop these important skills and start using them in your playing.

I’ve often taught my students how to properly execute these embellishments by bringing their attention to a few important guidelines that I share in this course:

Practicing them effectively for better style
Considering the unique rhythmic and melodic potential
Connecting these to the minor pentatonic scale in particular
In this course, you’ll learn how and why these guitar-specific embellishments are used. Even if you’re a late-beginner/intermediate guitarist who doesn’t feel confident with these techniques - you will after this course. By approaching these techniques in the context of the minor pentatonic scale you’ll also graduate with a framework for improvising and soloing with them in a more musical way :)
