In this lesson we will take a look at a few legato techniques aimed at the more experienced player. We will practice both 2 finger and 3 finger legato patterns.
After learning the initial pattern we will then take it up and down the fretboard and across the strings.
The number one thing to concentrate on when doing purely legato playing is your fret hand positioning. You will notice in the video lesson how my thumb is placed in about the middle of the back of the neck which makes my fingers point straight up to the ceiling.
Take your time and just practice the smaller pattern exercises first before tackling the technique of moving them across strings and up and down the fingerboard.

Try not to let your fret hand get to tight, if you feel a little bit of pain stop and shake you hand out a little or maybe take a short break. You will notice that when you come back to the guitar you will feel stronger and looser.
And last but not least… HAVE FUN!!
