How do you pull-off a guitar properly?
A pull-off is basically a hammer-on in reverse. Once you've done a hammer-on with your other finger on the other fret, now just pull that finger off the fret, pulling on the string a little with that finger as you do so and letting the note ring. There—you've pulled off a pull-off.
How do you pull-off without hitting other strings?
Some ways to do that are:
- Mute with the index finger of your fretting (left) hand and use middle and ring fingers to bend. ...
- Use palm of your picking (right) hand to mute all strings above the sounding one. ...
- Muting with a thumb is another way. ...
- Cheat with a string muter if you don't use open strings a lot.
