Well mate, for this assigment we'll be working on some legato runs to improve legato.

We'll start really easy and with a very mechanical exercise but that I think it will help you to loose your fingers a little bit.

The idea of this exercise is to get your fingers used to the usual positions that you'll be using on the long legato runs. In the transcription you'l find the fingers of the left hand and the picking pattern. You'll have to go up to the 12th fret and then go down with those three (3) shapes. I didn't transcribe the whole thing because it will be reeeeally long and I think it's unnecesary but if you have any questions don't doubt to ask me.

The tempo that you have to master the exercise will be quarter = 90.

Good luck with the new assigment.

John you've nailed the exercise mate! Congratulations!

I took a long time to answer the thread because I was a little busy these days.

For the next assigment I want you to work on this lesson http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/open_strings_riffing_/

It has a lot of legato passages

If you cannot master the lesson in the original tempo you can lower the tempo 10 or 20 points.

Any doubts feel free to ask me

Cheers!

Ramiro.

Hey Ramiro,

I wanted to let you know that I am in the process of moving, so all of my guitars and amps are on a truck until next weekend. I still have my acoustic with me and will practice as best I can with it until I get my gear back.
