On this tab

It says to do a hand slap. I'm not sure is that the same as just hammering the entire fret with your index finger?

where it says hand slap in that tab i believe its talking about the harmonics, which i do with my index finger when its in the strumming section and my thumb across the top 4 strings in the intro.

Mayer does it alot. Watch his sessions@aol videos and you will see. clarity and why georgia have a lot of it.
