Hammer And Pick (2 lines at once)


This is an interesting technique I developed to make it sound as if two guitars are playing at the same time. These types of examples work better with a clean/semi-distorted tone as the notes need to ring out.

To play these types of things, you tremolo pick one note and hammer-on with your spare fingers. There are so many ways you can go with this technique, especially if incorporate harmonics in there so again, experiment!
