I HEAR a lot of people doing hammer-ons in kick-offs, but I SEE a lot of sliding. Wich one is correct?

I do both when I kick off. Usually a hammer-on, then a slide.

Listen to the ear ! It will tell you. Hammer on...pull off....muted...
It's like this: which color of the car is correct?
The correct answer is all of them are correct as some point and time....just depending on your tastes !
Don''t give God instructions.....just report for duty.

I think hammer on is best, any one else?

I find myself using a hammer on more on kickoffs to get that bluesy sound.

Both are absolutely correct!

Do what feels right. It's only wrong if you don't do it at all.

Use both.. don't stagnate. always try new things. You can get in a rut fast by always doing the same things. try something new and have fun.

Obviously, a hammer on with the first song
Slide with the 2nd
and Both for the 3rd

What he said.
I don't understand the original question, though- "kickoffs"? For what? A fiddle tune? A vocal? Are you doing a turn-around, a lead-in lick, or a shuffle intro? Is it a bluesy sound or a bright sound or a butter sound? Far too many options to say "Do this. Every time!"
You might not even be on-time every time! Might want to do a loose-time lead-in and then the band kicks in on-beat, in-beat- that's kind of a flashy move!

I think hammer-on sounds a little cleaner. Sometimes you want to sound cleaner, sometimes you don't.
Cheers,

I think he means the standard fiddle tune kickoff like for Blackberry Blossom. Steve Kaufman calls it the four potatoes.
