Hammer-ons
OK, I just don’t get this. Tony plays hammer-ons with a nice, smooth transition between the notes, while I, no matter how fast I smack my finger down on the string, completely damp the string. I can’t see what he’s doing with his fingers viewed from the front, it might help if I could see it from a vertical view, looking down across the strings. What am I missing?

To get a feel for it, try using your index finger of your strumming hand and just hit strings until you get a sound. Try moving around between the frets, try hitting straight-on vs at an angle, try closer to the neck, mid fretboard, and close to the guitar body. Some spots will be easier than others. Once you can do this with your strumming hand, go back to your fretting hand and just try with one finger to replicate the motion.
