TheOldOnes30th April 2009Very useful. At this moment I am working on a legato piece (part of the intro to Sails of Charon) and I sometimes get frustrated with it and just alternate pick it. I think this lesson will be perfect in developing patience for developing legato. Thank you very much!

Alexiaden9330th April 2009Hey, I find I can do some level 5 things quite well, but I guess pull-offs are my great weakness in guitar playing. Especially my ring-finger is a real weakling, so I just practice some of this stuff !
Very nice lesson, once again, Muris ! 
David Wallimann30th April 2009Great lesson as always Muris, I love the backing!
Sensible Jones1st May 2009Another great lesson Muris and very useful! This is something I need to work on!!! Thanks!!
TreyDeschamp1st May 2009Cool lesson!
Muris Varajic1st May 2009Alex, ring finger is kind of attached to pinky and it's not
fully independent to it takes some more practicing
to get totally in shape, sort of speak, glad you like the lesson.
Trond Vold1st May 2009Nice one
Muris Varajic1st May 2009Thanks Trond.
Jose Lassaga1st May 2009Very interesting lesson Muris!!! Legato is my favourite technique!!! And alternate picking too, and sweep picking too and...hahah
Vasilije Vukmirovic1st May 2009Very useful Muris:)
Alexiaden932nd May 2009Oh, sorry, I actually meant pinky-finger, but I guess my ring-finger could use some work-out too
Starry Manhattan Rain2nd May 2009Hey Muris, awesome lessons as always!
Awesome guitar too! What are the specs? Sorry if you've already answered this in your board, but I haven't been around for a while, so if there's a thread could you post the link?
kaznie_NL2nd May 2009Nice one Muris!
Muris Varajic2nd May 2009Alex, you can work on those pull-off here.
Starry Manhattan Rain, there's a thread.
Jaymz2nd May 2009So how should I pick during the legato parts? The video confuses me.
Muris Varajic2nd May 2009I'm not really sure what you mean by how
but you can pick anyway you want, all upstrokes, all downstrokes,
mixing, doesn't matter actually cause there is plenty of time
for any of those options,
just be sure to pick ONLY first note on each string.
Marcus Siepen3rd May 2009great Job Muris, very useful exercise
Alexiaden933rd May 2009Thank you, Muris ! I had actually bookmarked that lesson so I could be able to start learning this one ! You are very helpful !
Muris Varajic3rd May 2009You're very welcome, let me know if you need anything else.
ninjawrathz22nd July 2009Great exercise indeed
It has improved my accuracy and coordination a great deal ever since adding it to my technique routine.
Muris Varajic22nd July 2009That's great to hear!!
Hi GMCers!
Today's lesson is for all our beginners out there and it's gonna help you with legato and picking at the same time. The idea is very simple as we play same lick twice using legato and then picking.
You'll notice that your muting would have to change or adapt for one of these technique and that's good test to prepare us for clean and articulated improvising later on.
Tempo is 80 bpm, it's in key of D tho it modulates into key of Dm near the end, 4/4 bar.
For my tone I used Guitar Rig 3, ask for the preset in my Instructor Board if you need it and I'll post it. :)
Cheers!
Muris Varajic
