Ok. I'm cooking along, cruising thru Mark Hansons "Travis Picking" book, and I get to exercise 44A, the exercises dealing with "slurs". Is it just me, or does anybody else find it impossible to combine hammer ons and pull offs on the 2nd and 3rd strings of an open A chord? I am used to playing the open A form with my 3rd finger acting as a "mini" bar over the 2,3 and 4th strings. When I try to fret those strings with individual fingers there just isn't enough room to get all 3 of my fingers in there and have each string sound clean. Now I am supposed to pull off the second string and a beat later hammer on the 3rd string? How in the hell do I hammer one of my big fat fingers onto that 3rd string between the other 2 fingers (after replacing the pull off)?
