Members zooLemon Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 I mean, I'd probably need a much faster right hand to play lead well if I weren't allowed to use hammer-ons and pull-offs. If I'm playing a solo, probably only about half of the notes are picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm playing a solo, probably only about half of the notes are picked. But it's not supposed to be a matter of just hitting the notes. I guess someone could make an argument that it's "weak sauce" if people simply use hammer ons and pull offs because their right hand is too slow. But hammer ons and pull offs should be used when they want to create the "slur" of a legato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much he's whole technique is legato. But Allan Holdsworth is more influenced by sax players than guitar players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bluesnapper Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 Weak sauce? That's fighting talk! Interwebz forums are all about making massively over-generalised statements and winding people up so they get angry about stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He is KING of hammer ons. He is the originator of the "Pull off's are retarded, and sound like dying cats" mentality. You'll never see the man doing pull-offs, he simply does hammer on's in both directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stringbender11 Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 Hammer-ons and pull-offs are the same to me as bends, or alternate picking, or any other technique on the guitar. All just part of playing songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Arr0wHead Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 Oh jeez, I can't believe I followed the link OP posted. WTF did I just witness? The UFC version of the Special Olympics? I can't believe you even tried dragging this forum into your bizarre argument over there. THAT, my friend, is weaksauce.
