I want to add an open string pull off on the first string, 2nd fret to my bum-ditty. What is the most natural time for me to perform the open string pull off? Thanks
It comes on the off-beat after "bum," producing a "bum-pa-did-dy" rhythm.
Pete Seeger called it the "Crisp lick," after Rufus Crisp, who taught it to him.
Check these videos by Tom Collins:
Think, ONE EEE AND AH. The ONE is the downpick with the index, pull off on the EEE then brush on the AND and hit the 5th string on the AH. It can be thought of as a Paradiddle. RLRR.
