A pull off is another technique from the legato family which involves moving from a higher note to a lower note. Think of this as a reverse hammer on. Pull offs are slightly trickier to master.
With a hammer on, you have a finger in place, you play a note and then hammer on to a higher note. With a pull off, both fingers must be in place ready so that when you pull off the higher note, there is a finger on the lower note ready to be heard.
As you’re doing a pull off, you should also try to slightly flick the string downwards. This will add a little extra energy to the string and make the second note sound louder and cleaner than if you just lift the finger directly upward.
