I'm 60 now. Played professionally for 40 years. I would imagine that you are relatively young. The fact that you mentioned Allen Holdsworth is cool. It's nice to know that the real pioneers are still referred to. Another great to check out is Steve Morse. He was one of my favorites back in the day....
After 45 years playing classic rock, composing and some blues, with this pandemonium I decided to get into speed and shreds. I know I´ll never going to get as fast as your are Mr Tustin, but my speed has increased alot as well as my fingering and concepts, coz you are very patient showing how to go from zero to speedlight. Many many thanks From Costa Rica... Pura Vida!!!
Aaaah man every video you do is ON POINT - honestly you're upping the game every time! Love watching your content dude, great to watch and always learn a lot - be it by guitar or sick edits!
Holy crap dude! I struck a gold mine on your channel! Please make more videos!! Your tabs and the way you break things down are BEYOND helpful to me, and far superior than most channels! Salute to you brother!
After seeing Guthrie Govan with the No Hands playing I want that kinda smoothness with the accuracy & speed just amazing !! A Technic I have never spent enough time on developing so for the next month. I'm gonna work hard on it and find my groove . Thanks for the video and inspiration !!!
Thanks! I found this extremely useful, especially the Paul Gilbert stuff. I've had to slow down and isolate when I upstroke throughout these exercises. It's slow now, but I'll shred until they're fast. Thanks again!
I used to think that he and Guthrie were the best, then I saw Bumblefoot and started hating myself for not being able to understand what's going on sometimes :(
The very first name that always comes in mind when it comes to legato is Joe satriani. There is hardly any player who uses legato so much as satch. Rick Graham was inspired from Satch and Guthrie consider his legato playing very influential. Without listening to his legato playing technic and style, it would be incomplete. But anyways, u r amazing dude. Very nice lesson....
I'm not here to diss the legend but Satch has a very simplistic not overly complex legato technique. It can be apparently quite obvious once you begin to familiarize with his music... I grew up listening to Joe...You notice he has a limited repertoire of legato runs compared to Rick, Guthrie or Tom, he doesn't shift and slide that much all he does is follow the ascending/descending pattern in a box or adjacent to it. Not saying that I can do Satch's legato ( I'm still struggling execute his slower tunes cleanly lol) I really would look into other players if I want a juicier legato technique, Joe's legato can be a great stepping stone though.
@@nethbt Well I understand what u said brother, but I am talking about the speed and melody that he creates with his legato playing. The way he just flows with the notes is exceptional. Rick and Guthrie are anyways an extraordinary guitarists and there is no doubt but even they consider him as one of the inspiration. It's also not about who inspired whom but for learning this particular technic specifically, Satch should be the first person to look upto in my opinion.This video was posted for educational purpose and so I thought to refer a player who is great at it..... Whatsoever let's not talk about anyone...At the end it's important for u and me to play it😀
@@sanjugholley I don't care how complex the playing is if it sounds recognizable. Satch is one of those guys that you can recognize from their playing.
I just learned like 6 new things lol. Been working on the legato stuff for ages and I've come a long way, but that dimebag style run at the end is blowing my mind. So much easier than it looks and sounds. Thanks man!
Alex gets a lot of attention but not as much as he should, he's a phenomenal player. He and Petrucci swap out the lead slot on my fave players totem depending on the day I guess.
dude, these are all too advanced for me. i only just play chords on my acoustic. but i love your content. with all these free materials/tabs/tutorial/exercises. i think you're one of the best guitar channels out there. and you're not just some guy trying to sell but actually wanting to educate people. so i'll keep subscribing and maybe someday i'll pick up an electric guitar with some pedals and your vids can help me learn. keep it up. thanks bro.
@@clinttustin I'm new to these type of tab formats. I followed the steps to download them, but I'm not able to open the tab folder. What is a zip folder and how do I open it? Thanks. But I really do like your posts.
Just downloaded your free tabs pack!! I am better at learning the tabs if they are right in front of my face. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!! You ROCK!
All great players you mentioned, pretty badass yourself... Brett Garsed is another legato monster who also uses hybrid picking, Marco Sfogli is also fantastic. Great work, clear tabs and easy to follow instructions... Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks Clint for the quality content brotha. You're doing all of us a solid. These videos have great aesthetic quality to them and more importantly great lessons.
muchas gracias, es de gran ayuda para los autodicatas que le sacamos probecho a tus videos - Thank you very much, it is a great help for the self-interpreters who take a shot at your videos
Came back to this vid after a while. This sure is a troubleshooting guide for fixing your legato technique, and i love Rick Graham appearing first in that list, that dude's a legend.
The C curve of the fingers, thumb placement, note lenght and carefully picking the first note. Those 4 things are underestimated most of the time, and they improve the sound a lot.
Great video on topic! I would also recommened legato exercises from Frank Gamble's Chop Builder. There's some gold in that guitar school on other techniques as well.
Kurt Rosenwinkel is another legato player. Doesn’t do it as much as the guys listed here, but he’s heavily inspired by Holdsworth. John Cordy is another solid legato player too. Awesome video bro!
Hello, thank you very much for uploading these licks. They are helping me a lot to improve my legato. Could you upload alternate pick licks please, greeting from Peru!
Dude not only your guitar techniques but your video and editing style is also amazing
I second that. Really setting a new bar for UA-cam guitar lessons
I also like too.
I was about type this same thing. Will be following for more content for sure!
@Kingsley Nadar what?
Seriously this is some killer production

Steve Howe, Steve Vai also
Yes's Steve Howe, surly amongst the greatest. 😎

Richie Kotzen is another huge master of the legato ... Nice video !
his vhs lesson is super incredible
Watched alot of guitar videos through the years and i gotta say even with just your current catalog your channel is top shelf. Well done.
Thanks! I found this extremely useful, especially the Paul Gilbert stuff. I've had to slow down and isolate when I upstroke throughout these exercises. It's slow now, but I'll shred until they're fast. Thanks again!
Clint, I really wished you uploaded more. your videos have the most perfect vibe.
Rick Graham is in my opinion one of if not THE best guitarist on the planet. Every single time I watch him play I am in awe.
I used to think that he and Guthrie were the best, then I saw Bumblefoot and started hating myself for not being able to understand what's going on sometimes :(
Focused, precise and effective! Just like your playing.. even though you forgot to mention Satch.. but still, you rock Clint! Keep it up there!

@@PegeCovers Well said brother
Satch is my fave!
the last time I sitted down to practice something with the metronome was, maybe, 10 years ago. You, sir, made me practice again today. THANK YOU!
Guthrie taught Tom Q who taught Jack Gardiner. Scary technique all.
Really? Damn!
Thats a great exercise workout there. Cheers for mentioning Holdsworth too, he was a Legato beast, and had an incredible musical brain.
I just learned like 6 new things lol. Been working on the legato stuff for ages and I've come a long way, but that dimebag style run at the end is blowing my mind. So much easier than it looks and sounds. Thanks man!
Thrash legend Alex Skolnick has a very underrated/ under appreciated legato techniqie. His solos in Testament's "The Ritual" album is quite sublime.
Alex gets a lot of attention but not as much as he should, he's a phenomenal player. He and Petrucci swap out the lead slot on my fave players totem depending on the day I guess.
I love these, made huge gains from your sweeps video and this video came at the perfect time.
This is one of the best legato videos on UTube!
18 seconds in and I already know this will be a good educational video! Much appreciated!
Excellent! Your videos are so concise and packed with info...please do a video on downpicking next!

Could you do a Synyster Gates technique and style tutorial please? 😊🙏 been trying to learn and understand his style of playing solos for 2 years now
This will be great for quarantine

Dude..your video editing extremly excellent ..love it

Allan Holdsworth is the man when its comes to legato
Keep up the awesome videos and tabs - Your Guitar Pro files are fueling my practice sessions these days :)
Nick Johnston is also an awesome guitarist who utilises legato and hybrid picking
Kerem Özdoğru love Nick’s playing.

Love your channel bro. You’re a great guitarist.
My favorite legato masters growing up were Gilbert and Lynch.
Brilliant lesson. Thanks!
Excuse me, im gonna steal the diminished pattern haha, great video, keep up the good work
Early Richie Kotzen was a legato demon!
Actual Richie Kotzen is still a legato demon, if not even better, now that he doesnt use a pick for some years...
Not too many peeps know this. His reh video is a killer lesson.
I still use his examples to this day, 20 years and counting
Vinnie Moore
I was just about to mention ritchie and vinnie✌🤘
