This is true, but don't overdo it. Just think about it, pull off needs to be strong and for it to be strong it's not about second finger that's pulling it but for the first finger to hold the string in place like the nut of the guitar is holding the 0 fret. Then your second finger has easier time pulling.
As for second finger, don't use any force whatsoever, only thing that matters is that it's smooth and one quick burst just like when you pluck with the pick. ploink and that's it, no force. There are many exercises and ways to improve pull of as well as hammer on and any other technique problem, but there is only one rule that applies to all exercises. You need to do them regularly, take 5 min a day, 5 times a week (this just means don't think you HAVE to do it but that you WANT to do it to improve so yes skip some days when you don't feel likeit) and do one exercise, if you start loosing concentration after a week or 2 on that exercise, find another exercise for pull off just to entertain your brain and do the same with it. Another tip, try taking a simple melody you like where you can use a lot of pull offs then use that melody as exercise actually. This way you actually practice technique and melody at the same time ! Enough of me blabbing hehe I hope some of this will help, I had troubles with that thingy in my middle music school but now I don't have any problems with em, like riding a bike, learn once you don't forget =) |

Hi folks. Thanks for the many replies!
Quote:
It just occurred to me right now: for pull-offs to a fretted note/double pull-offs, does it seem to you to make sense to start practicing this further up the neck? Maybe my fret buzz issues are because of issues with hand/finger stretch, and just like scales or finger exercises it'd be easier up the neck at first, moving back down the neck as I get comfortable with doing where I am. Maybe that would help. But that sounds like a long route to joy; and since I have a song that I like to play that I have in pretty good shape overall *except* for the frustrating pull-off run, I hate to have to wait so long on playing this song in front of others. Quote:
Ooh, flattening out (in angle, not in terms of not pitch) the finger staying fretted, to mute the next-highest string. I think I might have played with this idea a little bit, but I don't think I've really tried it hard enough. Thanks.

Here's a nice video (from 2:50 on) where you can clearly see the direction of "pull" and the opposing motion of the fretting finger. Ok it's on classical guitar but it works the same regardless ...
ps don't do hundreds of reps. I did that and got tennis elbow as a result pulloffs are fairly stressful on the hand and arm.... I never do more than 5 mins on these now, learned my lesson! Julie
