I am workin on sweet home alabama and the hammer ons and pull offs do take some practice, I am not sure about the official form or anything but I think, getting the timing and rythm down helps me know just how fast to hammer it on or pull it off, I think the faster you hammer on, the better it sounds but thats just me, or maybe I'm just crazy :eek:
The greatest enemy to what you can know, is what you already know.

It's not how good you play, its how well you play it.

Also, just a pet peeve, it's "Lynyrd Skynyrd"

They should have made it easier to spell.

Ha, when I play simple man I butcher the hell out of the way its supposed to be. So if you're anything like me just do what sounds right to you.

Has anyone seen, "Without a Paddle?". I love how the hillbilly pot farmer named his two rotweilers, Lynyrd and Skynyrd. Cracked me up. :)
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

I love "Without a Paddle", great comedy. The pot farming was on of my favorite parts of the movie too. Where the weed field catches on fire, and they all get high. Its pretty classic.

"with out a paddle" is a great movie and I love that scene when they get all high and hopped up on pot!! That stuffs awesome! Not the pot, the movie, just to clarify that...
I am Comfortably Numb... :D
