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.
