Guitar Techniques

The most usual guitar techniques:

Technique	How to	Tab
Bend	Play the first note, then bend the string with the playing finger (helped eventually by the other fingers) until you hear the next note (in the tab example, a whole step bend, from E to F#). There are also 1/2, 1 1/2, 2 steps bends.
Bend/Release	Bend then release back to the first note.
Hammer-on	Pluck only the first note, then hammer the second at a higher fret.
Pull-off	Pluck only the first note, then pull the second at a lower fret.
Slide	Fret a note (or notes) and then move (slide) to another fret without taking the pressure off your finger (fingers) as you move.
Vibrato	Repeatedly bend the pitch up slightly, and then let the note back down to the original pitch.
Tapping	Tap with the index or midfinger at the written fret.
Natural Harmonic	Touch the string lightly (don't press down) over the fret bar then pluck.
Pinch Harmonic	Pick the string, then touch the edge of your right hand thumb.
Palm Mute	Touch the string slightly with the palm of your right hand.
