bedner1 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 So I was thinking about writing a piece for the April competition for cello. I was thinking of having two cellos play a unique melody each on a separate string where they would do a pull-off into the open string. I know with the guitar that this can sound pretty good (AC/DC Thunderstruck anyone?) but the cello being a bowed string instrument I figure it might be a little more mushy in sound. Basically I was curious to know if it was possible to do this and if anyone could point me in the direction of musical examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Orpheus Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 The only example of pull-offs/hammer-ons that I know of for a cello is from Julie-O by Mark Summer: (Check it out around 1:26) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That answered my question perfectly. I think that I can pull something off with that example (no pun intended). Thanks a bunch for the help!
