@JeffM.22 Hammer-ons can be tough to master, but keep trying, it will be so worth it!! Great advice mentioned in here so far already, but let me add one tip- if you tune your guitar down either a half step and capo on first fret, or tune down a whole step and capo on second fret, your strings won’t be under as much tension and it’s so much easier to bend strings, and do pull offs and hammer ons. Once your muscle memory has a handle on the technique you can wean yourself off the capo…. Best of luck and don’t give up!!!! These are all really cool techniques that makes your songs sound that much better!!!
Beware: Watch your frets for fret wear, I got some dents in mine from trying to learn a bunch of James Taylor songs, hahahaha
