What does it mean to pull-off on guitar?

A pull-off is a stringed instrument playing and articulation technique performed by plucking or "pulling" the finger that is grasping the sounding part of a string off the fingerboard of either a fretted or unfretted instrument.

Can you do hammer ons on an acoustic guitar?

Hammer-ons and pull-offs are two closely related techniques. They are used to play legato, that is, in a smooth manner, and are also used to help the guitarist to play faster. They are most commonly used in electric guitar work, but can be used in acoustic tunes as embellishments.

How can I make my pull-offs sound better?

A good practice regime is to play, say, top string fret5, hammer on to fret 6, pull-off to 5 again. Keep this going until each note is the same tone and volume, then change fingers - for both notes when it's good- and all without stopping a regular rhythm.
