Pull-Offs

A pull-off is basically the opposite of a hammer-on. Instead of hammering off to make the note sound you have to pull-off to make the note sound. So you are pressing down a fret behind the note you are picking and pulling off the note you picked to make the note behind it sound. Look at the exercises below for more information.
