[Marcel]

If I play a pull of after a hammer on it sounds ok.
But I have problems with something like this

I just don't get power in the note which is pulled off
Any tips or smomething I should practice before?

Well, you can get a good pull-off if you bend the note a tad and then let go. That's the way I do it. Just make sure you don't change the fretted note.

Maintain intonation but pull down and away slightly to get a powerful pull off. I don't say "bend" like A Skater because I know when I started out I'd bend it a little too but the note would just go sour on me. Try both ways though because you may find A Skater's way works great for you w/out the note going awry!
It's a little hard to explain and believe me if I was right in front of you it'd be soooo easy to show you!

Sorta pull the string away just becareful not change to pitch. You may find certain areas of the finger work better on certain strings. The new guitar world has Satriani giving an excellent explanation of legatto, I recommend it.
