Hy guys
This question popped into my head after watching this video http://youtube.com/watch?v=_7-zD2IQYTw this guy talks about a strange way (at least to me) to play legato. And i'm wondering how you guys are playing/pratecing legato runs. for example you play this pattern --9p8p6h8h9 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- and you repeat that over and over again. At the time i pull of on the 9th fret my ring finger is already positioned on the 8th and already on the 6th. The guy in the video explains this as ancoring. And to me this seems like the only way to play legato. I think david and pavel play it like this as well. But this guy talks about a legato technique where at the moment he pulls of on the 9th fret at the same time he hammers on the 8th fret with his ring finger. And the sound this makes is a lot clearer than when you so called "ancor" your finger. will anchoring your fingers when playing legato be limmiting your speed? if i analyse my own legato i use both techniques. wich of the 2 techniques should i practice more to really get those fast fluid satch style runs? |

I never thought about this thing the guy does in the end of the video...
 It always seemed natural to me that if you are going to pull off for 8th fret, your thing is already there... I will give it a try though. -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
