Members 1001gear Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 You mean flicks? Not at all bad. Most don't even bother. I think you should learn standard pulls as well. The main advantage is as tempo and complexity increase you have the option of pulling or pushing depending on where your fingers have to go next.Keep practicing.

Members Knottyhed Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 What's a push-off? I've heard of pull-offs and hammer-ons, but never a push-off... Anyhoo - I think a problem alot of people have with pull-offs/hammer-ons/legato playing generally is a lack of finger strength and control. One exercise I can suggest is to take the right hand, reach over behind the fretting hand and mute the strings. Then practice playing scales/cromatic runs ascending/decending with the left hand - you can even try tapping out chords... it's a bit of a Steve Vai party trick, but if you actually practice it you'll find alot of benefits will drift into all aspects of your playing.

Members BlueTimber Posted May 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 It's my own word for it. Instead off pulling away and plucking, I push away and pluck. I'm less likely to hit he neighboring string that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
