    Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with learning on the electric. I agree. Electrics are much easier to play than acoustics.

    @jorgemac gave a good explanation on how to execute a hammer on. Make sure that you are hammering straight down on the tips of your fingers. If you are having difficulty with that, push your hand downward and your fingers will automatically curl more. It does require building up strength in your fingers to do louder hammering but it does become easier with time

    They’re a great skill to have, so keep practicing.

    Don’t shy away from music stores if you dont know how to play yet. The employees at the stores love to help people. You can always ask for a private room or a lesson room that you can go into. If one is not available, don’t let this push you from enjoying yourself. And looking at the guitars and picking at them and playing around with them. It’s okay not to know that much. You can ask the store for some suggestions. They’ll go out of their way to help you.
