Timing of embellishments
Seeking advice for how to add hammer-on's, pull-off's, and various single line embellishments / riffs to rhythm playing and keep it all in-time.
If I have a simple rhythm pattern such as 1-2&-3&-4& (D DU DU DU) where do the hammer-ons and other embellishments fit in? What are the general principles? I think my choices are 8th notes, 16th notes, or triplets. But I'm still lost.

Could be anything timing wise. For practice listen to some recordings (or easier perhaps tabs with midis) and copy.

Yor choices depend on the MELODY.

or just focusing on embellishments to the melody:
the timing is more or less based on the number of embellishment notes between a melody note and following melody note. For example on the high E string with an eighth note melody 5 - (3-5h-3p) - 2, the (3-5h-3p) is timed as a sixteenth note triplet. h:hammer-on p: pull-off
