(Note: When Doing the A string hammer-ons and pulloffs from 5th,6th,5th frets, the D
notes (4th and 6th strings) need to keep ringing. This might take a little practice to play
chords, then do the notes without bumping the strings and stopping the sound, but trust
practice makes perfect. For the F#5 chords to the 4th 5th and 4th frets you have to
a finger on 4th string and a finger on 6th string. Use the finger in the middle of that
or middle finger) and do those notes without stopping the f#5 chord. Again, this wil
a little practice, but practice makes perfect!!!)
