I cannot get my fingers to work in hammer-ons [View all]

I was teaching this young man who comes for lessons no charge at Duncanpup school of hey let’s Jam. I was teaching him diminished or major 7 or 9 and minor 7 yet where I was trying to take this 11 year old future virtuoso is pull offs and hammer-ons.

He said I can’t get my pinky or his ring finger to cooperate on pull offs or hammer-on he is just a great kid.
And he is a pleasure to work with and he always makes my day him and his mom left awhile ago he is great kid.
