Legato lesson

[seth3556r]

If you guys want a real legato lesson check out Marshall Harrison's lesson on legato. This is not legato.

[ugie88]

very smooth dude!! nice

[GastonPard]

beautiful T.T

[algrand90]

to be honest i dont find this lick too difficult to be called "advanced"

[dann3th3manni3]

@algrand90 The one-handed legato technique is considered an advanced technique. It demands a lot of technical execution in your left (or fretting) hand. Aside from that, the lick itself is merely a simple sequence in a minor key.

[Lavietto]

This was awesome man !! thx :)

[elisseos21]

one question. how do you keep the noise so low?

[debbieluvsibanez]

great vid!!! i have a jem too :)

[NoKeTri]

and then the most important lesson to be learned is, " When you learn something, Don't use it, ...... APPLY IT. :)

[motleycrue24]

if you cant figure this out by watching this just give up playing

[tico7464]

good thing u told me it was a lesson in the title, otherwise i never would have known

[Tenaciousdomi]

That was a gay lesson

[Ekram211]

great video.Learned a lot. if u r looking for some licks to help with your improvisation then check out my channel...:)

[fishermanryan]

Beauitiful guitar!

[lutfiechuas]

not good lesson man

[MrRason]

i've done similar things to this,but ill tryyy this also ,tnx

[jzdee]

Love it!! Ty for the lesson... I get it!!!

[007theAlien]

Wow this guitar sings.

[seth3556r]

That's not legato, those are hammer-ons and pull-offs. Legato is hammer-ons only. Haven't you ever heard of Allen Holdsworth?

[JuckfushUG]

@seth3556r Legato is a musical term denoting ''to play smoothly''. So long as the tonal quality is there, it would be considered legato.

[badmoon722]

typical steve via fan, hung up on speed and not on technique!

[XAeolusX]

Ive seen about a million guitar players do that little trick. Not much in originality .

[RRMI6ironmaiden]

man tab this

[Judical0punishment]

what guitar is that XD

[platinumshadow1]

@Judical0punishment steve vais ibanez thing

[jgriffo31]

i try to do that but i suck at it. But what do you do with your hand that mutes the strings to get that really good sound?

[switch0123]

this is great .!

[jamemusical]

nice lick : )

[312chicagoadam]

LOVE it!

[noahoath]

thats my dream guitar

[MHalamus]

this part came from song "shy boy" by Steve Vai.

[stringsnsticks]

HHeyy, thats pretty sick!!

Its not a really hard trick to do but it takes alot of practice to get it right.

Im still practicing it :P

5/5

[ncbasshero13]

wow. your one riff away from being my favorite guitar player l0l

[8stringerr]

do you really need to put your picking hand over the neck like that.

[DrWillumz]

It makes it sound cleaner.

[keidai3]

yes, hes baring the fifth fret and it mutes the "pull off" sounds when he changes strings

[cmac2415]

@8stringerr its to steady the neck it makes it easier to do

[miguel50912]

@cmac2415 its more a steve vai trick that looks flashy onstage for dampening the strings so theres no unwanted noise

[le169ln]

my cats breath smells like cat food

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

@le169ln lolwut?

[BluesmanFraser]

high output pups required lol

[DarrenDonohoeguitar]

lol!!!

[guitar789]

@DarrenDonohoeguitar True? Sometimes I pick up another guitar and play on another amp and I cant get any legato tone. Think u need good pickups quality, set em high and have an amp with huge distortion.

[xxxEnterSandmanXxX]

wahey were both irish!

nice lesson dude helps out loads!!

[gocepro]

[steveraff01]

[mikeyFear0n]

well done but in all honesty it didnt explain much

[DarrenDonohoeguitar]

haha...i didn't know how to use my camera very well at this time so i only knew how to record for 30 seconds...check out my recent vids man...

[samhuisman]

30? 29 man:P

[himsadeath]

what camera do you use man?

[DarrenDonohoeguitar]

Its a 'canon hg 10'....i didn't know how to use it properly in this vid but if you check my more recent ones its a v good camera. bout 500-600 dollars i'd say but well worth it! :D

[burtonandi]

ibanez SV model!

[DarrenDonohoeguitar]

[codyclarke]

Nice legato!

[vanhandren]

very good tech...steve vai's legato..very good playing!

[DarrenDonohoeguitar]

Thanks my friend!! Excellent playing love yours steve vai videos... :)

[elsepulcro]

dude whats better? Joe satriani series or the jem? i tried them both but i dont know which one to choose :S

[DarrenDonohoeguitar]

Both are great!! I would prob go for the js series personally!! Smaller neck works better for me..

If ya have hands the size of steve vai the jem is good though!! :)

[ericlehto]
