My pinky is unable to do a hammer on that gets enough sound. I don't think it's just a matter of trying to strengthen the pinky, due to past injury. I can do hammer ons that sound OK with other fingers, but sometimes the fingering of a piece doesn't allow that.
I'm currently trying to learn Brittni Paiva's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, (beautiful version!), and need that hammer on. What do people do if they need to substitute something for a hammer on? Picking the note vs. hammer on doesn't sound the same, of course, but is the best I can do for now.
Suggestions? Of just pick the note and that's that?
Here is Brittni's SOtR:
