That can be a tricky technique to learn! It requires a certain amount of strength & dexterity. But as snojones correctly points out, it doesn't require as much pressure as you might think. And too much pressure or tension can actually hinder your dexterity to get it done.

This tutorial is an exercise aimed at building the strength & dexterity along with the right technique to do trills, which are combined hammer-ons & pull-offs.
