Legato Guitar Lessons

Legato technique is all about smoothness. Whether you are talking about players like Joe Satriani, Allan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane, or any other player with superb legato technique, what they all have in common is fluid execution in their fretting hand (and low string action also helps!), producing a silky smooth sound free of pick attack.

So check out my legato guitar lessons. And like with all my guitar lessons, I won't just show you exercises, I will also provide melodic examples of legato, focusing on phrasing to help you with your overall approach to phrasing on the guitar.
