Legato Request

Hi Stephane

I have posted a request elsewhere on the discussion board but will try you directly because I think this request might fit your style.

I would like to work on legato, the kind of smooth violin like legato played by holdsworth, allen hines, or marshall harison. I cannot find any lesson on GMC, though there are a few brief moments when on 'creative arppegio phtasing' when you seem to be going there.

This Marshall Harison link is an example- but it is too fast for me to appreciate. I would like to learn what a chopin-esque pedal tone with only hammer-ons, no pull-offs really is.

Introducing Me

Hey all - I was invited to intro myself so here goes: started playing at 14, 1st prof. gig at 17 with Witchkiller onwards to 21 with various other local outfits. Then had a decision point: University or guitar. Sorry to say that I chose University and locked up (literally) my 69 strat! But the story does not end there.....after a few decades of establishing a career and family I dusted off my strat, and bought a jackson soloist as my belated homage to RR. Now as a consultant, I have plenty of free time to explore all the resources available to guitar players like GMC. I am finding it a little bit overwhelming like the proverbial kid in a candy shop. I am really impressed with the theoretical depth of many guitarist out there and I am trying to learn my triads, arppegios, scales and chords and fit it all together musically. Took a few lessons from a jazz wizzo which was good for developing theory but didn't help me master Sails of Charron, slap arrpegios all over crazy train or deconstruct Govan's solo magic. Sorry for going on so long...Question: how do you make a request for a particular lesson? thx Bruce
