This is a good one.. you'll possibly find it easier than my Land of Legato 3 lesson because the changes of pace in this Task give your fingers and brain a chance (a very small chance) to rest. At least, that's my theory anyway....... There's also lots of useful licks in this one that you can steal and employ in your own playing. Those open strings really work well for this type of thing. Deadline next Thursday 12th April or I will be forced, against my own will, to break a rib. Enjoy ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

There's more variation but I think you guys might have less trouble with stamina on this one. If I'm wrong, keep my donuts back. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Greetings, Adam San ! What a great job ! I've noticed something interesting though, just like the last Task you did. On the first licks you kind of sneak the first note in before the actual first beat and the second note (the one you hammer on) takes the place of the 1st beat. The lick still works and you can play that but the not you play with the index finger should be the leading note, the 1. Nothing wrong with the playing though, the protein shakes are obviously working You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The lick still works and you can play that but the not you play with the index finger should be the leading note, the 1. Nothing wrong with the playing though, the protein shakes are obviously working Cheers, I think it's due to a lack of strength in the index, suprisingly. I found it tough to hammer it down hard enough, consistently. The more strength I can build in my fingers, the more control I'll have. I think my legato / finger strength is holding me back at the moment, the legato 3 nps pentatonics in this week's chat were tough, but I felt the benefits the day after. If I start the same lick on different fingers, I get different results (picked licks), which highlights some weaknesses, just going to keep training those areas (also mentioned in that Guitar Gym series). Also, all this legato in the past few weeks, and no nagging pains - feels good You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Also, all this legato in the past few weeks, and no nagging pains - feels good Yes that would make complete sense. When certain fingers don't have the strength they sort of just plonk on the fretboard but with not as much control. I was telling the other guys in Bushido that just the pursuit of keeping fingers controlled and in time requires muscular resistance, helping the little piggies get stronger That's good to hear that there's no pain ! P.S. I completed Hitman - Codename 47. I can't promise that I didn't lose my patience and find an invincibility cheat... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Aye, plonky indeed Haha, nice, nice I can't remember which one/s I've played, I didn't find them easy for sure. If you fancy a giggle, here's a guy that does entertaining walkthroughs for Hitman: Blood Money (warning: language): Also, while I'm here check out the band Havok, I'll leave you to figure out their main influences: You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
