Members Slave_New_Wurld Posted March 8, 2006 Members Share Posted March 8, 2006 Something's been bugging me ever since I started getting into playing jazz - I can't seem to pull of those "rolls" as smoothly as I want. I'm not sure what to call it, but say, for crude example, you're in the A pentatonic scale, a typical jazz/blues thing to do is sharpen the D note on the G string with a quick hammer on and pull off followed directly by a slide down to C - but whenever I hear this done it sounds as though there's more involved with it, making it sound like a roll or a flick. Is there some chromatic nuance going on here? String bend followed by pull off? What is it that makes that quick rolling effect? My apologees for not explaining this too well.

Members mattotten Posted March 8, 2006 Members Share Posted March 8, 2006 why a slide down to C, why not another pull off, is that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, you could do this two ways without sliding.... 3rd finger G string hammer on to 4th finger pull off to 3rd finger pull off to 1st finger 5th fret... or 1st finger g string hammer to second finger pull off to 1st finger pick 4th finger 4th string 10th fret... the second way might be closer to the effect you are thinking of...
