1st commenter... X)

[@LittleRapGuy]

my hammeron is never loud at all. I'm trying right now.

[@LittleRapGuy]

we still have to use the pick with the hammeron? Maybe I'm thinking the hammeron uses no pick?

[@Living_EDventures]

@@LittleRapGuy No you just use your fingers to do hammer ons.

[@LittleRapGuy]

@@Living_EDventures thank you... Could it be the pickups?

[@rifficide]

I could listen to Nick teach guitar endlessly. Love him so much. More Nick videos, please. Especially playing more AC/DC riffs. \m/

[@Russell_Optics]

Love your video's ! You do a superb job of explaining things, and also give guys like me with short/stubby fingers hope for future excellence.

[@DucManSD]

Love Nick! Great to see another lefty player, especially on a song by another lefty (Tony Iommi)!

[@lordundhimself1310]

Love this guy

WOW Nick..amazing guitar lessons!!!
You make it so easy to learn.
Can you please do a lesson on song “I” Black Sabbath. It’s hard to find that lesson anywhere

[@buddhamus]

I really liked this lesson, but there's no way to easily save a copy of the tabs. Not that you'd really need it, but I like to keep a printout of lessons like this in my binder for easy and a quick reference.

Sorry for newbie question - Do hammer-ons translate to the acoustic?

[@sweetwater]

Hi, Ron! Thanks for your message, hope you're well and safe.
Check out guitarists Jon Gomm, Michael Hedges, and Andy McKee, who use a variety of techniques, notably hammer-ons on acoustic guitar.
