Task 9: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Land-Of-Legato-2/
If you've sneaked a quick glance at the Beginner thread then you'll probably have worked out that we're going to start focusing on legato ! All you need to know is in the lesson text and videos, so I'll leave you with some advice from Eddie Van Halen - imagine your fingertips are the toes of a ballerina, dancing lightly over the fretboard As always, you have a week with this Task, until next Thursday 28th March - get stuck in !

Thank you Ben for this answer. When I'm taking my finger out (anyone of them), the string softly rings (it sounds like some natural harmonic). With distortion it becomes audible.
Anyway, I've made a take at 80 bpm. I've tried to play the next note louder, as you proposed. Kind of helped Could you please tell me what you think of it. What shall I improve ? I really do enjoy this journey in your Dojo ! It makes me play with more regularity and more diversity. I now record my sessions and it's the better way for me to progress. I needed this kind of training and I'm so glad you made it happen.

I can't hear any unwanted string ringing on the B string at all Great !! The only audible improvement whih I would want to improve is the timing aspect, just getting everything more tight and even, that's all ! Apart from that, you've done a really good job That's great to hear... the journey at The Temple isn't for everybody.. only those who have a will of steel ! |

Hi Ben,
I've been working on legato a lot lately. I'm starting to improve. I made a take at 100 bpm tonight. Could you please comment it ? Thanks Ben_s_Land_Of_Legato_2_Lesson_100bpm_take1.mp3 ( 767.46K ) Number of downloads: 102 -------------------- �Million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.�

Thanks Ben_s_Land_Of_Legato_2_Lesson_100bpm_take1.mp3 ( 767.46K ) Number of downloads: 102 Yes ! This is really, really good. Exactly the kind of thing I like to hear. Although it's not exactly perfect and clean (it's not going to be, you're still learning it) it's progressing just like I would hope it would. You've clearly been working hard at it - well done ! You may have a donut |

Here's mine at 80% speed. Still very sloppy but actually much improved from when I first started.
