Hammer-ons & Pull-offs

Re: Hammer-ons & Pull-offs
Well, pull offs consist of just pulling your finger off a note whereas hammer-ons consist of playing a note and hitting another while the note is still ringing so I presume when you're first teaching yourself that pull offs are easier to learn and last that little bit shorter. They're pretty simple techniques that do a lot for your lead playing.
Listen to classic rock lead guitar, they're used a lot and they seem to just sink in and become a part of your playing when you're listening to them the whole time as opposed to trying to learn the techniques from lessons or writing etc.
