If you practice hammer-ons, eventually you will be able to move each finger smoothly and independently. The hammer-on can just as easily be played with fretted notes: just play the note normally and hammer onto another (higher-numbered) fret on the same string. However, this doesn't make them less common on an acoustic guitar, where they are used frequently to embellish open chords Without electric amplification, the hammer-on tends to be quieter than regularly struck notes, especially if you haven't practiced it! Because the strings are closer to the fretboard, hammer-ons are easier to execute on an electric guitar. Quickly pressing your finger down and raising the note without hitting the string again is called "hammering on". If done properly, a G note should be sounding. While the note is still ringing, quickly and firmly press a finger on the third fret. To quickly learn, strike an open E on the first string. Hammer-ons can be done anywhere on the fretboard, but for the beginner it is easiest using an open string.
