Welcome to the Week In , your rundown of everything that’s been happening in culture over the last seven days. Let’s dive in!
In November 2020, luthier John Cruz started his own pany. Earlier that year, he had been dismissed from the Fender Custom Shop seemingly due to a controversial Facebook post regarding Black Lives Matter protesters. However his solo effort seems to now be no longer in business – while there’s been no announcement from Cruz himself, germain retailer Pro alleges a lawyer informed them of the closure. The retailer also outlined difficult financial dealings with John Cruz Custom s, such as undelivered instruments and a deposit that has now disappeared along with the company.
Fender has launched the Highway series, a new range of slim acoustic s which take stylistic and spec cues from its Acoustasonic range. Despite somewhat resembling Fender’s line of hybrid electric/acoustics, these are instead meant to be a much more ‘pure acoustic ’ experience, albeit with a much slimmer body. At only 2.25 inches thick, these promise to be the shallowest acoustic experience around, outside of learning Coldplay songs. Just kidding.

This week an auction of some incredible s was announced: Kurt Cobain’s “Sky Stang I” Mustang and Eric Clapton’s “The Fool” SG. The Sky Stang I was used frequently by Cobain during Nirvana’s final tour. The auction piece retains the same strap and strings as used by him three decades ago.
The painted Fool SG was used by Eric Clapton on many of his most famous tracks, including Sunshine of Your Love, I Feel Free, and White Room. It gets its name from the Dutch design collective that painted the . Its colourful design and Clapton’s use of it made it a signature relic of the psychedelic era.
Joe Bonamassa once again finds himself in Quote Of The Week. Success? Money? Fame? Recognition? None of those compare to sticking it to those who would see you fail. In any case, we eagerly await Bonamassa’s Lingua Ignota cover.
Beginner Hammer Ons
In true Josh Scott fashion, this video is a superfluous exploration of pedal-building nerdery. Why travel thousands of miles to create an ultra-unique Germanium fuzz face? Why not?Part of developing as a guitarist is learning how to dress up chord progressions so they don’t sound stale and boring. One way to make your chord playing more dynamic is to incorporate hammer-ons and pull-offs.
Hammer-ons and pull-offs use the fretting hand instead of the picking hand to articulate notes. They allow you to play more notes faster, and with a smooth, flowing sound that transforms tired chord progressions into catchy, melodic phrases.
Hammer-ons and pull-offs are part of a technique called legato, which means “tied together” in Italian. Legato allows you to pick the strings a lot less, which makes for a more fluid sound, especially when playing fast. One note flows directly into the next with no intervening silence.
How To Hammer On A Guitar Note: 5 Steps (with Pictures)
The vibration from a hammer-on is generated from the force of your finger hitting the string. To execute a hammer-on, strum a note with your picking hand (say an open fourth string D note) and use a finger on your fretting hand to hit the desired higher note on the same string (try a fourth string, second fret E note). The sound is different to that produced by picking both notes individually. The hammer-on produces a quick transition between the two notes and slurs them together.
Strum a D chord and immediately hammer on a first string, third fret G note with your pinky finger. Come down with enough force to make the note sound clearly without having to pick it with the picking hand.
Think of a pull-off as the opposite of a hammer-on. A pull-off can generate vibrations, whereas a hammer-on will only carry on the leftover vibrations from a previous note. To execute a pull-off, strum a note with your picking hand (try a fourth string, second fret E note) then pull your fretting finger off with a down and out motion to a lower fretted note (try pulling off to the open fourth string D note).
Months In] Why Do My Pull Offs/hammer On's Sound So Ass. I Know I Need To Smooth Up Everything Else But They Always Sound So Off, Is It My Old Guitar
Don’t just lift your finger off, actually pull it slightly in toward your palm and down just before you release it so that when the finger leaves the string, it performs a kind of pluck of its own. And if you’re pulling off to a fretted note (a fourth string, third fret F note to a fourth string, second fret E note for instance), you need to finger that note (the E note in our example) in advance before pulling off (the F note).
Let’s try a Dsus4 to a D chord pull-off. Strum the Dsus4 chord and immediately pull your pinky finger off the first string, third fret G note with enough force to sound the first string, second fret F# note of the D chord. Remember that you must “pre-fret” the F# note with your middle finger before initiating the pull-off. You are basically using your pinky that is fretting the G note to pull-off and “pick” the F# your second finger is fretting.
Now let’s try putting both techniques together. Again, working with the Dsus4 and D chords, strum the Dsus4 chord and immediately pull your pinky off the G note. After the F# note sounds, lift your second finger up off the F#, strum the chord with the first string open E note, and then hammer the F# back on. You will have strummed two chords for a total of four chords sounded.
How To Perform A Hammer On
The trickiest part about legato technique is getting the notes to sound clean and even in volume and time. If you have a metronome, use it to work on your hammer-ons and pull-offs. Start out slow. The cleaner and easier it gets for you, the faster you can go. If you are having trouble with a particular finger, isolate that finger and practice with it until the finger gets stronger. Remember to play up on your fingertips.
You’ll probably notice that hammering on with your pinky is a bit more difficult than it is with your other fingers. That’s because the pinky is typically a little weaker. It’s a good idea to spend a portion of your practice hammering on with just the pinky. This will help to build up strength in that finger.
Hammer-ons and pull-offs are written on notation and tab with the word legato or with a little arc, or slur, over or under the notes that are to be played using this technique.
Hammer Ons And Pull Offs Energize Your Chords
Multiple hammer-ons and pull-offs together are sometimes also referred to colloquially as “rolls, ” a reference to the fluid sound of the technique. A rapid series of hammer-ons and pull-offs between a single pair of notes is called a “trill.”
