Slur Combination Tabs
Combining hammer ons and pull offs
Using a combination of hammer ons and pull offs, you can really speed up scale runs. Honestly this is one place where you can begin to differentiate your style and enhancing your guitar technique. Learn and Master Guitar also has an entire session dedicated to helping you differentiate your playing style on their instructional DVD series. We officially endorse these instructionals and highly recommend them.

These are just a couple of simple exercises you can use with the scales that you can find in the Music Theory section of The Guitar Suite. You can also use our blank tab sheet from our Guitar PDFs page to create your own. Of course, Learn and Master Guitar is the most effective way to improve your guitar playing. We highly recommend these high quality DVD guitar instructionals.
