Guitar

I think it's what's called a "hammer on" where you play the 2 note then hammer on the 4 without additional pick.

It also may be finger picking like what you do with acoustic guitar, which I am completely unfamiliar with. But my guess would be what I said above only plucking the open G and E strings while hammering the 4 after plucking the 2. This requires ridiculous skill since you have to pluck with different fingers at the same time. My Dad is the rough ridin' master of it.

But I could be completely wrong.

no i know what a hammer on is. You cannot hammer on from open high E to open high E

I'm saying the 2 - 4 is a hammer on while you still play the open strings. Not really sure how to do it since I can't finger pick and still not sure if I even know what i'm talking about

[mocat]

it would look like this. and if you have more than one finger you can pluck more than one string at a time

don't know what finger picking would have to do with it. if you were plucking the g and e for example, it would make no difference if you plucked the root note of the hammer-on or pull-off or not. can't see much advantage to doing that unless you are doing some tapping or a run.

you also can't hammer on from the 4th fret played on the B to an open on the high E. that was my point before. i think whoever made that tab just fudged it and it should just be a hammer-on or pull-off to the next fret on the same string.

Tab example starts when he hammers on the 22 at :50.  I looked at it a for a while, still can't figure out, and it happens a decent amount in the song.

Those are hammer ons, not "slurs".

I have no idea what any of you are rough ridin' talking about.

:50 doesn't show anything near the 22nd fret? is that what you were trying to say. you're making it difficult to help you out here.

Oh.  In the tab, the first chord is a 22 on the bottom two strings.  I got it figured out though.  Play the 020 chord then shift it to the 040.  Same with the others.  Though I thought it would be written differently if they wanted it like that.  Cool song, looking forward to all the poon I'll get from it.
