this isn't very hard technique but it does take some time to master. But when you do mast er it u feel like you have achieved something extremely valuable :)
@encounter50 Agreed. I have been playing guitar for almost 10 years. And this is the first time I actually realized that I NEED to work on legato. I can sweep, I can shred, I can play with soul, but legato is more valuable than all of these
@Max18539 well first, he's using a Fender Strat with Dimarzio fast track and or chopper pickups...there's more to it than just using distortion. Also, set your gain to about 7, up your mids and put treble to about 6...if you're using a Marshall amp for distortion than you're smart...
@KIsabelUnson you would have to have strong fingers and extremely good technique, but it can be done, and if you do this on acoustic, playing it on electric would be a breez
@PIMPZproduction not really, the other strings tend to interfere less on an acoustic guitar, the best way to learn it (in my opinion) is with some distortion (not enough to make the hammer ons piss easy but yeah a decent amount), i had this problem, i never muted strings cos it really wasn't necissary on an acoustic guitar, sure, my finger strength is great but yeah i 'sucked' at muting
Thanks for the lesson as you see by my vids I just picked up guitar fee months ago to teach my 5 year old, your very kind for watching my vid. Thanks for the sub and comment and again you rock.

One of the main tricks with legato is you need your guitar set up with a low action, good sustain and a bit of echo or delay is always good. A guitar with a higher action will not be very good for this technique!!
Wow, for years I've been told not to anchor my righthand wrist anywhere and now tonight, I've seen two lessons telling me to use it to mute when I'm soloing
Great lesson! I've been trying for years to build the ability to play smooth legato. The lesson really helped but I'm struggling when it comes to moving my first finger to a new position. The legato patterns make my hands tense and that makes it hard to release the tension to move my hand smoothly. I've tried being more gentle but the notes loose definition. Should i just turn up the volume or an gain? Any tips would great. Thanks for a great way to get started though! :)
very strong left hand.... how do you make it sound so solid...?...cause whenever i do it it sounds lazy and almost dead... i cannot do legato without picking at least 1 note....per string...
dude! i thought all this stuff was a lot harder when i hear them play these solos on their albums, but you break them down and the techniques they use are a lot more simpler than complicated. thanks for your lessons. they certainly will make me a better guitarist in the next few months than ive been playing since the last 20 years.
If guys like you are here then the world is good........thanks for the free lessons........It's because of you that i never attended a guitar class but play some guitar............
I can do all this stuff but i want to know how to write guitar songs like satriani, gilbert, vai, petrucci, etc. but I cant write anything good. Have you got any tips on how to actually write a song?
@pivotgodxd Basically, what i've notice about them guys is they sit and really figure things out. They have riffs inside their head and they just sprawl in out. I remember seeing Vai talk about a song "building the church" ? He sat for hours just figuring it out. If you know your theory you'll be, just get a good riff in your head, get a looper and just play over the top of it, you'll soon be on your way :]
The lick you start playing at 5:19.... i'm not used to stretching my first 2 fingers like that... is it supposed to hurt if it's not a stretch you always do? In some ways it tenses up my wrist, hurting it some... but i can't quite execute the stretch without the tension... and then trying to pull and hammer makes it even tougher to do...
I know i can nail the licks and everything, though i think the best way to play is to play comfortably so if it's never comfortable to play for me, then yeah.
Please never stop making videos. Please. They don't have millions of views because people don't take instruments seriously anymore. But people that watch and try to play what you teach really do.
very informative lesson. Thanks man. btw, i would like to ask what gears are you using in this video. definitely that strat rocked my world, I think its a dimarzio cruiser that you're using.
@guitarexodus711 it's a maple neck.. polished light wood not like rosewood were it's dark wood. common on most guitars like Gibson SG or Less Paul. some Fender Stratocasters have maple necks. Plus you don't have to treat maple necks as much you do with rosewood necks. i use lemon oil on my rosewood next twice a year.
Hey I'm back I'm s a strat guy and I think your strat is freakin awesome for what I've heard but how does it sound with some good heavy rythm work. im a big fan of ritchie kotzen,george lynch,yngwie, and paul gilbert so I'm glad you have covered the yngwie and kotzen lessons they rip. Also in your opinion why did you choose dimarzio over they seymore duncan rail pickups.Well whenever you get a chance to respond ,thanks... Keep tearing it up
@Stratman291 Hey thanks for watching the lesson. I actually just put the original single coils back into my EJ so I don't actually have the Dimarzio humbuckers in it any more. They sounded great for heavy rhythm work. They don't sound quite like humbuckers but they are close to that level of bass response. I didn't really have any preference over Seymour Duncan, to tell you the truth I have never played the Seymour Duncan PU's before. I have just always used Dimarzio so I went with them. :)
Its about time someone put some real guitar lessons that you can actually understand on youtube . please keep posting your video lessons -They are awesome.
ChristophMikael, don't worry most people don't know what Lydian is :) Basically, each scale has a "character" based on intervals between the notes. So Lydian is a typical major scale but with a sharpened 4th note which can sound dreamy over a major or power chord (e.g. Steve Vai - start of 'The Riddle'). It comes from the IV pos. So E Lydian is the B major scale (E = IV/4th note of B scale) over an E chord. It's the same as E major scale but has an A# instead of a natural A (E F# G# A# B C# D#)
I really feel you could have taught the same amount of information in much less time...I lost interest very quickly, despite it being a topic worth watching

Heeeey nice guitar... heeeey wicked pickups! Nice technique, Good video... This helps a lot! thanks for posting : )
and oh hehehe at 0:43 I noticed you almost said exorcism.. Hehe I know you didn't but it just sounded like that to me hehehehe just kidding... Great video sir! I'm definitely subscribing! : )
i just want to correct one small thing in the vid. Legato means 'smooth connecting notes' it doesnt mean dont pic. Its not a term invented for guitar. But not picking is usually how we get the sound. However, dont feel like you CANT pick. I usually pick once per string change to keep the power flowing in case i dont quite nail the landing and you'd be stuffed trying to hear the difference once you have your timing down. Keep practicing guys, and thanks for the vid.
Hey man, I never pretend to say that you can never pick when playing legato, it just so happened that these licks are played without any picking. I do know legato isn't a guitar only term, I don't think I said that in the video but I was just refering to the sound and yes the technique is usually played with slurs and not picking.
However, I know a majority of players pick the first note on a string 95% of the time and so do I, this is just for these exercises.
However, there is a difference in sound by starting with a pick and not, I think they are both sounds you should master and that is why I offered the licks this way.
Anyway, I appreciate your input, I agree with you in what you said. But I just think you thought I was slighting guitar players that add the pick to the legato like Steve Vai and such, but like I said in the video I was referring to Ritchie Kotzen's style on the string changing licks and that is how he plays them. :)
@GuitarLessons365 its ok dude i wasnt ragging on your lesson, i just didnt want people that are learning to take it too literally and get themselves trapped cos they misunderstood. I shouldnt have said 'correct' i should have said elaborate.
legato makes guitar like piano, not much picking and al hammers and pulls correct?

i just want to correct one small thing in the vid. Legato means 'smooth connecting notes' it doesnt mean dont pic. Its not a term invented for guitar. But not picking is usually how we get the sound. However, dont feel like you CANT pick. I usually pick once per string change to keep the power flowing in case i dont quite nail the landing and you'd be stuffed trying to hear the difference once you have your timing down. Keep practicing guys, and thanks for the vid.

Hey man, I never pretend to say that you can never pick when playing legato, it just so happened that these licks are played without any picking. I do know legato isn't a guitar only term, I don't think I said that in the video but I was just refering to the sound and yes the technique is usually played with slurs and not picking.
However, I know a majority of players pick the first note on a string 95% of the time and so do I, this is just for these exercises.

However, there is a difference in sound by starting with a pick and not, I think they are both sounds you should master and that is why I offered the licks this way.
Anyway, I appreciate your input, I agree with you in what you said. But I just think you thought I was slighting guitar players that add the pick to the legato like Steve Vai and such, but like I said in the video I was referring to Ritchie Kotzen's style on the string changing licks and that is how he plays them. :)

@GuitarLessons365 its ok dude i wasnt ragging on your lesson, i just didnt want people that are learning to take it too literally and get themselves trapped cos they misunderstood. I shouldnt have said 'correct' i should have said elaborate.
