what part of this are you having trouble with...the whole thing?

[matttherevelator41]

I'm really havin trouble with the

1 1 1 1 3
1h3-1h3-1h3- part.

[taylordb]

I barr the 1st fret on the A and E strings with my index finger and keep it there. I pick the E string with a downstroke followed by a hammer on the 3rd fret with my ring finger......then pick the A string (remember it is barred at the 1st fret) with an upstroke.


Do it slowly for a while to practice and then eventually you will get the speed.

Does that make sense?

thats how i do it but i usually use my pinky, when i try the ring finger my barre chord usually slips...

the key on that part is to get a clean hammer on and off only the E without touching the A, and then just some alternate picking- its gotta be a clean hammer though or you'll never get the A string to ring out correctly and it'll muck up the whole section

I use an upstroke for the E string and a down stroke for A. I barr the first fret with my index and use my ring finger for the hammer on. hope it helps
peace
