Hi Tank
 Glad you asked all this,I'll try to answer the best I can. Must go back to time when I was full beginner,somewhere in 93. No clues about scales,chords,techniques etc. I was listening to players like Knopfler,Gilmour,Hammet,Smith & Murray etc and trying to figure out licks "by ear",no el. power or net during siege of Sarajevo. Now,I used to play one solo,per example slow one in Master of Puppets, for million times,until I got it right. Same thing with more complex stuff like from Satch,Vai or Malmsteen. But in a meanwhile I was making "my own" licks,just to make it easier for me to play at some point. And now we're onto legato part in Mix Advanced soloing Lesson. That's really often lick in legato playing,shapes like that,sliding around etc. Probably I got "piece" of it listening to Satch,but still I can't find that lick anywhere in his opus, at least not in full-notes wise. Conclusion is,you MUST listen/playing lick from someone cause everybody have done that. But also make your own stuff and exercises,inspired by those players. That's how your individual style shall be made as well. Hope this helps a bit and tell me if you need anything else! Take care -------------------- Youtube

Hi John
Actually I was talking about legato with using of small slides,just to change position/box. Many players play licks like that but since Satch is our legato master and legato is his trademark, let's say I borough it from him.
