Overview of Legato Techniques

Legato techniques, integral to modern guitar playing, involve a series of hammer-ons, pull-offs, and legato licks that allow notes to flow together seamlessly. This course provides in-depth instruction on each of these techniques:

Hammer-Ons

Hammer-ons are a fundamental legato technique where you play a note and then hammer on to a higher note on the same string without picking again. This course breaks down the technique, helping you to increase your finger strength and accuracy, which is crucial for playing faster and more fluid lines.

Pull-Offs

Pull-offs are the opposite of hammer-ons; you play a note and then pull off to a lower note on the same string. Mastering pull-offs through these lessons will enable you to execute fast runs and complex passages more smoothly, enhancing your overall playing speed and dexterity.
