How to Use a Hammer On to Play Notes of the Song Blue Christmas on GuitarThis is Bill Machperson for Expert Village. I showed you the chords to the song now there is a few notes that you need to know to put the chords together. The first one is done before the E or the B7 and that is the (playing guitar.) So you really need to have that in there to have the whole flavor of the song you can just play it as chords. But it sounds much better when you do it together. So I'm going to show you that right now and it's very simple it's done on the A string and the first note is one the open A. The second one is the first fret second fret and then you hit the open E. (playing guitar) Now how you want to do this look is as a hammer on now basically just hit the string once you don't need to strum it each time you go up you just let it go with one.
