New Stuff I Have Learnt so Far

So far i have really struggled with keeping up with practicing. And have come to a conclusion that this is so much harder then i thought it would be. I have learnt about harmonics and how they are incorporated in to music. They are really easy to play but are very hard to put into a instrumental. Also another thing i have learnt is pull offs in percussive guitar are like every second note and hammer ons are like any other note if your not picking. For you who don't know what hammer ons are they are when you hit the string just with your one finger and it makes that note ring and a pull off is when you well pull off the string by plucking it as you leave that note. I feel the harder of the two is the hammer ons because its harder to get the sound of note to come out loud. Now that i have learnt that stuff it is now time to learn the percussive parts down they are extremely hard to do when playing a song. The snare drum sound is the easiest.

My instrumental is okay so far i only have like the first 30sec it sounds alright..... well it sounds like a beginner should sound like. So i have a start and i have tons more but its all in different keys and different styles and i cant seem to piece things together.
