Legato Lick in E minor in the style of Joe Satriani

[zbarneyz]

@OrionLong It's a Red Flare. The camera makes it look pink. Now I'm not gonna argue with the man himself. If he thinks it's orange then.....Okay.

''I brought my orange Ibanez''.... Have I become colour blind?....

[jimistephen]

That looks like road flare red to me.

@Necr0pha4gist I would say that the best thing to do is head to my website and work on some of the legato technique lessons in the technique section...it's all free and you'll learn to play this stuff in time! The link is in the information under the video on this page or type MWGLforums - dot - com

wow thanks for this lick dude

[premiermusic]

@vanhalenreserve as far as legato playing goes on guitar players have been doing it since the beginning of guitar as an instrument. The two handed tapping version the Van Halen is known for had been done by players like Harvey Mandel and if I remember correctly Steve Howe years earlier...they just didn't have the crazy success that Eddie had with it and he definitely expanded the technique and made it his own.

hey great playing man!!

check out my vids if u have time..im new to youtube ;)

[Wiseman501]

Woops! bad typing.

[Wiseman501]

Nice little lesson! Oh, and if Ibanez is new to ya, maybe try looking at a good schecter with a floyd rose, they're a wee bit more dependable than the lockong trems on Ibanez, which may or may not slip sometimes.

[Wiseman501]

I'll be looking at your other vids for more complex patterns and the like, since I've already got my legato basics down pat.

thanks a ton mark. this is the first lesson on youtube that i have done that has got me back into playing!

i really like the final representation of this lick.

No problem! I'm glad you liked the lesson....its definitely something that I use quite a bit although I've been trying to work towards a less legato style in my own playing just to change things up.

The Ibanez is something new for me. I traded some gear to a student for it a few months ago and it is really fun to play...
