"Open Hammer On Pop" or OHP ,next i will be say "OHP".
This is like vitor woonten's plucking technique but i would like to apply for us as some one can not using plucking with his thumb.
A concept of slapping an open string with thumb, Hammering a note with left hand and then pop string.
a note with your index finger. "Open Hammer Pluck" (OHP) is just a name and like all names they can be changed.

1.Basic Pattern



Throughout all of the different ways that we will explore this technique over the next few lessons,
it is good if we can keep the concept the same.
"Simple". This will allow us to keep our "thinking" simple as the technique gets more complex.
To get us started, here is my song of the basic OHP using to combine moving chord progressive in Em .
My song and sound that you hear guideline to create your song with OHP technique.
I using lick in Em scale as thus tab below.







It consist of three notes or three "attacks" (since some of the notes can be played as muted notes).
Start with this and get comfortable with it.
it at different speeds and with different levels of dynamics but make sure that each note stays clean and distinct.
Make sure that you can hear each individual attack. That will allow us to move it around much easier later.

All Tab below are show notes of my song in progressive chords "Em,D7,C7,B7" etc.
