Gosh! He's not even picking! amazing! You hardly picked.
Very nice workout for legato, and sounds very good
Thats awesome man, legato is one technique I really need to work on. Got this one bookmarked until i nail it.
Tahnks for checking out the lesson
@Alexiaden93 - start out slow and you'll get there quicker than you think!
Wow, this is perfect for me ... in a year or so !
This is very useful nice way to build some stamina
It's a pleasure Berko!
It will take some getting use to if you have been playing for longer than a couple of months,
'cause it develops like a bad habit!
Hang in there will make an obvious difference with time. practice and patience:)!
Great work Ian!
Thanks for your reply, Ian!
It was really interesting to read about the breathing issue! I've noticed it too, when trying to boost speed or maintain a long run evenly that I get tensed up and my breathing gets uneven.
I'm gonna work on that then!
That was a huge help to make me conscious about this, so thanks again!!
Wow,that was fast and clean.Great playing mate.
Thanks for stopping by to check out the lesson! Glad you all like it:)
God job man, i like it !!
Excelent exercice! Good job!
The part starting at 0:16 is just ... !!!! what the ... !!!!
This chord progression rules.
Very good exercise!!
Thanks for this Ian!
great lesson Ian
Awesome playing and composition
That was a very creative etude.
Thanks for checking out the lesson and the kind feedback. Glad you like it:)
Great lesson!
I have a Horizon also, and it has JB on the bridge and 59 on the neck. Im not liking the 59 that much i will probably switch to a jazz pickup. On your videos you usually use the bridge pickup for solos. What pickups does your horizon have?
Wow really awesome workout lesson Ian! Fun and useful!

Awesome workout, Ian!
Btw, i wanted to ask about your left hand position. I've seen, that in your sweeping lesson (and now here) when it comes to playing on the high B and E strings, you usually put your thumb (of the left hand) to the middle part of the back of the neck and you reach up to the strings from below. Your hand seems very relaxed when doing so. When I play, the neck lays in my palm between index finger and thumb.
So my question is whether you prefer this style and that's why you choose to play like this, or did it develop naturally.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.
Very accurate! This lesson works as a exercise,as a study and as a theme! This is really great!
Wanted to add, it is not just or primarily the techniques. I can see what you are doing here. It is the swing of your play, your rhythm. That is so important, even though it is easy to quantify exactly what gives a person so much life in their play. But when we hear and see it, well it helps me to reach for it, even if I am not doing what you are doing exactly here at this time.
Anymore, when I see a lesson from you, it is like a kid in a candy store to me. I am pretty darn sure it is going to be something special.
Thanks AlexLion, much appreciated:)
Hmm... the blue frets are probably my fault, used daylight for this lesson but it was quite cloudy and overcast when i recorded....could be it. My curtains are blue might be a reflection, unsure. Thanks for pointing it out though will look into it.
Ian you rule! Even one string playing is so melodic and this lesson will help me very much with my left hand:)
p.s.- why some frets of your guitar looks blue, is this a problem with video player or just blue lights used?
Hay ZakkWylde!
Glad the lesson will come in handy:)
....gee you don't get to say that everyday haha;)
GOD I needed this lesson so badly!
Hi GMC,
Here is a single string legato lesson, to help build the stamina in your left hand fingers for super legato chops!
This piece uses very few arpeggios,the A natural minor and A harmonic minor scale along one string.
* Root A natural minor A harmonic minor e|-0-1-3-*5-7-8-10-12-13-15-*17-19-20--|-0-1-4-*5-7-8-10-12-13-16-*17-19-20-| B|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
The pick is rarely used, when it is, the picking direction you use is completely up to you.
There are backings at four different speeds including rhythm guitars to jam with.
Check out the guitar pro tab to see how the broken dowmn licks fit together.
Tuning is standard for a change;) Time signature is 4/4 and the tempo is 160.
Keep rocking!
Ian
