Nijo: do the tutorials. They don't take long at all, and hammer-ons/pull-offs are so much easier to grok once you've seen them.
Pull-offs work the other way, eg: you have orange-blue, orange is a black ring, blue is a white ring. Hold orange AND blue, strum, let go of orange but keeping blue held and it'll sound.
The key to hammer-ons/pull-offs is that your timing has to be spot on; you'll probably try to do them too fast to begin with. You'll often think you've hit a note right but you haven't.
At the higher songs on expert/hard, they're fairly necessary for anything approaching a decent score. Crossroads, Texas Flood, Killer Queen - they're major features.
You don't have to do them - you can strum every note and you'll score OK, but fire up Crossroads on Hard and you'll see why you can't strum it all
