Thank you, Karen and Dusty. These embellishments are probably too advanced for me right now but I think I will still try the hammer-on and pull-off with some of the simple songs I’ve been playing by ear to get started and add some flair and variety.

Thanks, Dusty!

Hi @karen-b, I arranged Beech Spring specifically to teach those left-hand techniques.  You can find my arrangement here .

In general, I find slow airs and ballads to be well suited to those techniques.  For example, see my arrangement of Calon Lân .

Hi all. I’m looking for your favorite novice and intermediate-level tunes that lend themselves to incorporating hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides.
