Hammer Ons, Pull Offs, Ghost Notes, String Bends, Slides and Vibrato

This video explains and shows you how to add hammer ons, pull offs, bends, ghost notes, slides and vibrato into your playing. These are very expressive techniques that add magic to your music.

I recommend learning the minor pentatonic scale and using that to practise these techniques. Let me know what you think of the lesson in the comments below...
