I'm new to legato technique. When I hammer on/pull off, the notes do not sound ballanced. I fail to keep my left hand relaxed at the same time when I use this technique. I know I should be patient and that it'll take some time before I develop good technique.
How much time did it take for you to get into h.o./p.o.'s? What's position of your left hand thumb when using this technique?
When I play h.o/p.o on g,b,e strings I place thumb on the lower half of the neck (I have Les Paul type guitar, the neck is thick) and approximately in the middle when playing on the upper 3 strings. I also noticed that I tend to press my thumb against the neck while I'm at it a bit because it bends :-) Is it wrong?
