Symphony-X

Here is a riff that utilises some left hand hammer-ons. With this particular technique, practice slowly in order to develop the power and accuracy needed to sound the note clearly. Also you’ll notice the sixteenth note rests are as important to the groove as the notes themselves, so try to play as staccato as possible, using the left hand fingers to mute all the strings in the rests.
