The weather is turning colder now so we will have to take extra measures to keep those fingers warm !! Read on.. and no, I haven't made a mistake and posted in the wrong place...
Task 32: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/legato-stamina/ Yes, that says Level 7 - but of course I don't want you to play it at the same tempo ! Instead I'd like you to use this as a legato study to build some more stamina and dexterity in that fretting hand and use a lower tempo backing track.. or even record it to a click or drum track if you like. Also, I only ask you to learn up until 0:35 in this lesson. Those trills at the end are really cool but I think spending time on them may draw attention away from the rest of the piece. If you do want to do them then go for it, of course.. but you don't have to Ok, so I've given you a bit of a tougher assignment this week but I know you can do it !! So, once you've done your morning exercise and you've eaten your rice and cleaned your bowl, dig in and enjoy ! Deadline is next Friday 7th September ! or I send the men around in the blacked out Mercedes... This post has been edited by Ben Higgins: Aug 31 2012, 09:50 AM |

I wanted to share this. Here is what I can do so far, at 80bpm. I don't really want to push it faster, because it's still not clean and I'm fed up to learn things not right.
So I intend to stick with this tempo until it's quite clean and even. Unless you tell me otherwise, of course. It's not a "Donut submission", just a "work in progress" checkpoint See you ! http://soundcloud.com/grindguer/legato-stamina-click/s-icgzZ -------------------- �Million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.�

For a weekly task this is quite challenging but the skill rewarded from it is a great incentive to try it out. I wish I had enough time this week to dedicate to this lesson!

Ok, I'll bear your 'Non Donut' submission status in mind This post has been edited by Ben Higgins: Sep 5 2012, 09:10 AM |

Dead line already... I wish we could work on this one next week. Progress are coming so slow.
Here is what I can do at 80 bpm, and an attempt at 110 bpm. At 140 bpm, I panic Salut ! http://soundcloud.com/grindguer/legato-stamina/s-BFHOw http://soundcloud.com/grindguer/legato-stamina-1/s-tBFWS -------------------- �Million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.�

Hi Guys
Tough Week on this task. Really tough. Does legato get easier? It's a tough technique. I know Legato is one of your babies and your amazing at this technique. I'd love to love it but it's not loving me. Very slow going. http://soundcloud.com/zoomify/legato-stamina Hey Grind what do you use to slow down the backing track? I have amazing slow downer on my iphone but I need something for my pc. |

I have amazing slow downer on my iphone but I need something for my pc. Hail Zoom ! Well this is not bad stuff, man... it sounds like it's hard work sustaining those notes at that speed and with that tone.. it's quite dry isn't it ? You did pretty well to keep the licks in time and you sounded quite in control for most of it. I would say that it isn't a difficult technique to learn and play but it is very difficult to keep pushing forward with it when you're trying to learn it, if that makes sense ? I think the hardest part is to find the resilience to keep training the fingers and being patient with them. They will get there ! I'm interested to know if, looking back, you think you would have been able to play this ? This post has been edited by Ben Higgins: Sep 7 2012, 02:02 PM |
