You need to pluck the string with the left hand, not just to move the finger away from the string. It needs to sound almost like you picked it.

As Emir and Matt already said, you have to pluck the string. With hammer-on you have to hit a string, and with pull-of you need to pull your finger downwards to pluck it, it looks like rowing
 I made one lesson for left hand legato playing, no right hand involved https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...-only-exercise/ see if it can help you

You should start to practice it on clean with a metronome for now on. What sounds good on clean will sound equally if not better with distortion. I think Emir and others are spot on. You need to pull the string "off" with your left hand in a motion like you are plucking that string with that particular finger. You are most likely just lifting up your fingers and motion should be downwards.

I re-vamped my legato a year ago. Took me about 1-2 hours of playing and then everything was improved 100% at least. Still not saying it's as good as it gets, but definately better than before, where I was doing somewhat the same as you.
I followed this wonderful guide: http://www.justinguitar.com/en/MA-042-MartinGoulding1.php Worked wonders for me. You can check that out also, if you want. I believe you will learn a lot if you sit down with that and spend 2-5 minutes per example. |
