hammer on open strings?

[Polera]

I was reading a tab and a note is played on an open string...but it has a hammer on. How do i go about hammering on a open note?

Thanks.

To be clearer, there was no note played before it.

you mean there was an H(hammer-on)before an open E string or something?

[Polera]

yup

there was a 7-9 on the strong below with a hammer on semi loop, then a hammer on loop to a -0- on the string above. There was no note played on that string before it (open string) so it couldnt have been a pull off. :confused:

I don't think it's possible... :confused:

[Polera]

hmm im perplexed...

Probably a typo. I'd ignore the hammer on sign, and just pick the open string.

Are you sure it was a hammer on (did it say "H")?
It wasn't like a bow?
If so, it could be legato, indicating it should be played smoothly.
