Exploring Legato Guitar Playing
Do you want to add fast, smooth, melodic licks to your playing but have troubles synchronizing your pick to your fingers? Legato playing is a great alternative to picking every note that I, along with many other guitarists, personally use every time I pick up the guitar.
Join me in this lesson today as we explore trills, a staple of blues and rock intros; a great movable blues lick; and the famous climatic moment from the solo on the Dire Straits song “Sultans of Swing.” The mechanics you will discover through working on these examples will unlock a whole new style of playing that will have you playing fast, melodic lines in a flash!
