You're right - Oh4. I agree, hammers should not be that difficult. I'm doing this little hammer run across the 4th fret and the rest are fine. It's just that the A is dead. No sustain at all which makes the hammer sort of moot. When I don't have the capo on, the A string rings fine. Plenty of sustain even with the hammers. So I am not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong.
