3 Common Legato Mistakes Guitarists Make And How To Solve Them

The key to playing legato super smooth, fast and clean is not found in any magical set of exercises. The secret is in developing the correct technical foundation that will allow you to:

2. Be able to play for extended periods of time without becoming tired
3. Know how to correctly master the foundational elements of great legato playing (hammer ons, pull offs and slides) to make legato feel effortless and fluid (like it’s supposed to feel!)
