Your pull-offs will be only as clean as your technique is in general. That is, if you're
still hearing lots of other strings sound as you slide up on a particular string, you're
going to hear all those strings ringing open along with the one string you want to hear
when you lift the slide. So keep paying attention to your damping and muting. Also,
make sure you've really reached the fret you were aiming for before you actually lift
the slide from the strings. Unless you're going for a quarter-tone slide ...
QUARTER-TONE SLIDES
This concept is a little more tricky to communicate in print, and even if you listen to
the examples on the CD, you may find it difficult at first to hear the difference
between a quarter-tone slide and a half-tone slide. Still, it's an important sound, and
I wouldn't want you to come away from this book thinking, "Hamburger, that slacker,
he never even tried to explain quarter-tone slides." So here goes.
To begin with, remember that a one-fret distance on the guitar is called a half-step
or a half tone. So a quarter tone is just going to be half of that. "Dave," I hear you say,
"how am I supposed to play half a fret?" Well, say, what's that on your little finger? A
slide? Try this. On the third string, slide from the third fret completely up to the
fourth fret (Example 4a). That's a half-step (one-fret) slide, and if you play that over
a G bass, the B you're landing on will sound really bright and perfect as the major
third of a G chord.
Now slide from the third fret only halfway up to the fourth fret-to an imaginary
three-and-a-half fret (Example 4b). Over a G bass, that note won't quite sound major,
and it won't quite sound minor. Ifyou just stop right there in the middle, it won't quite
sound right, either. There's a blue note you're trying to find, and I can really only
describe it as being the note on the way to the major third. If you haven't lost your
patience with this project yet, try this last step: Start at the third fret again and slide
toward the fourth fret, but this time lift the slide from the strings somewhere between
your start at the third fret and your conclusion at the fourth, killing the note midflight.
You need to be damping behind the slide with your index finger so that lifting
the slide actually stops the note; otherwise you'll get a pull-off to the open G.
It's a tangy, ambiguous sound, and it does work as a pull-off to the open G string,
too. Let's try a few licks with this sound. In Example 5, almost all the action is in the
pickup before the downbeat. Example 6 also has a long pickup, this time with a pulloff:
make the two quick slides into the seventh fret, and on the second one, lift the
slide from the string to get the open G. This open note gives you time to jump down
with the slide to the third fret for the last move of the measure.
