Nemesis
This is a special thread which has no deadline.. it's a special corner of the Temple where disciples can come to any time and polish up their skills in a technique that they find particularly difficult. One thing that has been a Nemesis for some of you guys is Legato.. so let's use this thread to discuss, post progress reports and generally try to turn your Nemesis into another one of your strengths ! We will turn this  Into this !  So, use and abuse this thread and treat it as an ongoing journal of progress as you start to tame your Nemesis ! I remember that this one was giving Chandra a few problems so this could be our first Nemesis Project. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...=43709&st=0 P.S. Anybody is welcome to participate in this. Any level of ability, doesn't matter if you've been involved in Guitar Bushido or not. This is your corner ! |

Thanks for the feedback Ben!! I'll try the 1 2 4 fingering you had mentioned, but I'm guessing the "stretch" will be too much for me since I'm new to legato. But I'm very interested to pick up a guitar and try it (can't at this moment) to see how it feels. If it is the preferred method, and I'm just not able to do it because of my weak beginner stretch, then perhaps I am best off to practice it on the higher frets where it's easier to do for a bit and then work my way down to the wider frets.

Yeah, that's the way I did it  QUOTE (DeGroot @ May 29 2012, 08:18 PM) Ok, I've been warming up with your legato drill quite a bit (sTill need to record a video for that). It led me back into this legato lesson that I tried out when I first joined GMC. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guitar/legato-lesson/ I just started back up with it today and figured I'd post something to get started here. From high to low string I have more trouble timing licks and making them sound smooth. The opposite way (low to high) is slightly better. I have a question about hair ties/mufflers that I've noticed a lot of guitarists use on there headstock. Is this mainly used for legato scales and arpeggios to hide unwanted string noise? Nice take DG... I'd just suggest to try and cover more of the B string area with your pick hand. I kind of hover over that area myself. The only area that's ever left 'free' is the high E. It's hard to explain but after a while you kind of build in these automatic reflexes which know when to cover strings and when not to.
