Question #21

What is a trill?

Answer

A trill is a rapid continuous hammer-on and pull-off between 2 notes. How many times you do the hammer-on and pull-off depends on the situation ....but at least a few times.

In tablature you will see one fret indicated, and then another to the right in parentheses. These are the 2 notes that are involved in the trill. You will also see a "tr~~~" above the notes that will be trilled.

     tr~~~~
E:-----------
B:---7(9)----
G:-----------
D:-----------
A:-----------
E:-----------
