BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The moment I heard "Hi, I'm Mathias", I went to the comments section right away. Fellow humans certainly don't disappoint. Hilaaaarious comment! LOL!
man, I was struggling with hammer-ons for YEARS! I was totally convinced you can't possibly do this on acoustic and you need lots of amplification. And lots and lots of force and I never seemed to have enough. Your instructions made me play loud hammer-ons in SECONDS. THANK YOU!!! I never imagined it could be so easy!!!
really this was an absolutely brilliant video just by how clear and slow you explained every single thing that a beginner would think to ask or be confused about. Spot on proper teaching
Excellent instruction. Learning that the key to hammer-ons is speed not strength was invaluable. I had been struggling with getting a clean sound and this tip made a huge difference. Thank you Mathias!
Ok so don't misunderstand me I'm not really great at guitar but i could actually do this from just this video you're a seriously good teacher thank you omg
What would I have done without this video. My teacher is asking me to do hammer-on and pull offs for malaguena. The most encouraging thing he said is "you'll get it". After several hundred times of trying to "get it", I became despondent. So as a last resource I went to your video. Now, I really think I will GET IT. Thank you very much.
Thanks, I really enjoyed the lesson. I like your focus on the joints and the muscles involved and not only where to put the fingers. It's easier to understand when you think of the entire motion like this. Cheers!
Anyone else came here because they felt yousician wasnt explaining both of these good enough lol. And the fact that they taught you with an eletric guitar
Yeah! Yousician was completely useless when it came to explaining this. They never said anything about plucking the string with your fretting hand when you do pull offs
Having trouble playing hammer-ons or pull-offs? Watch this guitar lesson video to make sure you are using the correct technique. Hammer-Ons and Pull-Offs Guitar Lesson
I know this is from forever ago, but thank you for this. I've really been struggling learning this technique, but after this short video, I've got it far better than I did before.
Honestly thank you so much. I've haven't been able to do this until now. Your tip about the active joint and specific placement of hammer on .. fab. game changer. I hope you see this after all this time :-)
Wonderful lesson - concisely, yet patiently explained, with easy-to-follow, and easy-to-watch techniques. Truly the best, and most powerful video I have ever seen on this topic - thank you!
I'm a noob taking an online guitar course, and while it is very good, it expects me to already know how to do hammer-ons and pull-offs, so this was fantastic. Thank you, Matthias.
I see so many tutorial videos and not one of them show it like this one. What's right an what's wrong on pull offs. Super. Thanks for this useful how - to.
tried learning this for a while and was very frustrated until i realized it is most probably because i am playing on an electric guitar that is not connected to anything XD
Man, you made this so simple. Have been having a huge problem with the note dying because I've just been "pulling-off" but this helped so much, thank you.
At 4:20 towards the centre of the tab, it "hammers on" over an entire other note? Can you maybe link me a tutorial on how to read tab music properly? Thanks!
If I understand your question correctly: It's not skipping the note, that sequence on the fifth string would be played by plucking the third fret, hammering onto the 4th fret, and then hammering onto the 5th fret. So you would pluck once and hammer twice for those three notes. If you're use to reading text tab you might see it as 3^4^5 or 3h4h5. or some other variation depending on the author. (Sorry for old response, figured I'd answer it in case someone else had the same question)
More guitar videos should use his technique of zooming in to both the left and right hands and splitting the screen so you can see both. Really helpful!
Ah thank you so much for this! I was stuck in Rocksmith which I'm using to learn guitar on a part of hammer ons and I could never figure it out. I finally know how! Thank you!
when I watched this for the first time, I thought you were just playing guitar as an intro. when I watched a second time to see what the hell this guy was talking about guitar Jesus, I knew they were hammer-ons. Good video 👍
Ay, I've been doing this technique for years, I thought it was called, "transitioning" but I just learned that it's called, "Hammer-on", & "Pull-offs". I don't know how I went by 10 years without knowing this..
6:37: "That 3rd finger of course is touching the 3erd string, but is muted by the fact that my index finger is right there so it's not sounding" is very confusing cause if your index finger is touching the string and is still sounding.
I'm trying to master progressive mathrock. A lot of what they do involves pulling off or hammering on half a step. So instead of plucking at 5 and pulling off to 3, I'd be plucking 5 and pulling off to 4. This is incredibly difficult since there is so much tension between adjacent frets. It would be like trying to pluck strings only at the bridge; they don't resonate. Is there any technique that I can use to make these sound loud and clean? I'm completely self taught so I may have been using the wrong technique for about 20 years now. Is there any way to unlearn that and learn the right way faster? Also, what is the right way for half step pull offs?

Why is guitar Jesus staring into my soul and introducing himself as Matthias
LMAO
I will forever be replacing the use of the name "jesus" and now be using "Matthias" instead.
@@petethecatlvr cause is a hidden message “Matthias means Messiah”👌👌
We already have Jesus and Aquaman as guitar teachers.
It couldn't be better.

You must be an amazing guitar teacher since you literally inject the lessons directly into the student's soul with your steely gaze.
When he told me to "go forth...and rock", I knew my life would never be the same.
Such majestic hair.
A really clear and instructive lesson but whenever I caught his stare I had to punch a wall to feel manly again.
Phuong Nguyen Duc looool
Lol😂
You're literally nuts, man
lmaoo
😂
He has the nicest hands I have ever seen on a man. I gotta rewatch the video to learn about these hammer-ons and pull-offs now.
you're right:))))
I lost my shit the second he introduced himself with that look on the his face xD
Great lesson!
3mins in my face is still hurting! hahahhaa
I had to rewatch the intro a few times, still hilarious. Solid tutorial though

Acoustic is the best to do hammer ons on
Me: Is this video good?
Matthias: Hi, I'm *Matthias*
Massive Penguin hahahhahaaaaa
THIS IS LIKE JESUS TEACHING GUITAR LMAO
The best explanation out there - very patient, thorough, and the on-screen tabs were the missing piece for me. Well done, Matthias!
really this was an absolutely brilliant video just by how clear and slow you explained every single thing that a beginner would think to ask or be confused about. Spot on proper teaching
have you heard of the high elves?
huuughahhhhh *dies*
Body's still warm looks like there's a killer about

Dude... your face is the definition of youthful majestic.
Ok so don't misunderstand me I'm not really great at guitar but i could actually do this from just this video you're a seriously good teacher thank you omg
This is what happens when you give Thor a guitar
Thor is playing guitar
Ricky Ramirez he turned mjolnir into an acoustic lol
Ricky Ramirez I can't cut the fact that he looks like he's high on drugs...
Finally we get Thor playing a guitar called mjolnir while high on drugs
True that

webworm13 We're glad that the lesson was helpful. When learning, knowing "what" to play doesn't necessarily say "how" to play. Best of luck to you!
@@GuitarCompass, thank you for sharing with us. Knowing what to do doesn't really equate to knowing how to do it. Love it. Thank you.

This dudes so chill, i love it
I was really skeptical at first but damn you taught it really well!

It's like a healthy version of Culkin
That’s what I thought lol

I trust that anyone named Matthias is an amazing guitar player

Oh no 😂 2 Years later 😂
F
Macaulay Culkin just taught me awesome guitar tips !
Never thought a guitar lesson would make me doubt my masculinity
Thank you so much for this video. The velocity tip alone makes a world of difference.
Damn it! Who invented this technique, Satan?
for real dude...i fricking hate it
It's not that hard.
Osqui Romero yep I did
it all seems like child’s play til you try and learn memories by Tobias
or any of his songs actually 😂
How does he have so much volume in his hair?! Seriously I would like to know
Hi I'm Mathias and look at my glorious hair 😂
This is such a good video.. I've been struggling with it since a while and Matthias made it so clear. Thank you for this!
Man, you made this so simple. Have been having a huge problem with the note dying because I've just been "pulling-off" but this helped so much, thank you.

Drakonis thankyou it was very informative :)
can anyone reccommend a good and "not that expensive" guitar that can pull off these teqniques?
did you see that wordplay hehe
but seriously.
Ikerez Cop a Squier. Fender look and damn close sound
for acoustic, a cheap-ish yamaha is a great starting guitar

You had my curiosity, but you now have my attention matthias

Patrick Cruser I know and his neck is really nice also
Patrick Cruser them nails take the prize tho

It’s like you’re staring into the depths of my soul
the end of the video just blew me away .. I see the 5th heaven now
Thanks a lot Matthias!
Thank you Aragon.
Perfect - Thanks for being so detailed and slow. Most tutorials for beginners move too fast to see what they are doing
This was was better than 10 weeks straight of lessons
are we going to coMPLETELY IGNORE HOW FLAWLESS AND GOOD LOOKING HIS HANDS ARE?!!???!

I have been playing the guitar for thirty years and i have done pull offs correctly! Amazing
Thanks for the Blues sequence!
the rings are amazing!
when I watched this for the first time, I thought you were just playing guitar as an intro. when I watched a second time to see what the hell this guy was talking about guitar Jesus, I knew they were hammer-ons. Good video 👍
Thanks for really breaking it down
thank you guitar Jesus !
Thank you for the pull off tips! I’ve been learning Hey Jude by The Beatles and there’s some pull offs later on in the song!
You explain it so well!
Thanks Nic Cage!
Thank you, this video makes learning easy. 10/10! 😊

You Teach Really Well Man
Thanks For the Lesson Bdy :-)
Thank you Matthius.
another thing I just figured out: as you pull down with the one finger, PUSH UP with the other finger.
