Developing Legato

Developing Legato - Part 2

By Kailash Pate May 12, 2015

This is part 2 of 4 in a Legato Series that I've written. These patterns will help develop your legato playing regarding hammer-ons. Things to focus on:

Play with a metronome!
Start slowly and don't move ahead until all fingers are ready
A hammer-on should be quick and precise
Observe my left hand
Keep your left hand as parallel to the fretboard as possible
Maintain a steady breath and posture; this will help you stay relaxed
If it hurts, then stop
Legato is difficult, so be patient:)
