      legato is just playing without picking/ or with limited picking. The notes are not that important to the style, but knowing your scales is.

  • @markobarrows4304
    @markobarrows4304 8 років тому +1

    I remember when Allen Hinds replaced Ted Hall of the Fents back in the eighties, after Ted fell and broke his arm. He was producing Hiroshima but came and did the Fents gigs with Adam Holzman and the then current bass and drum players. He didn't fall right in but did another two or three gigs before he bailed to do Hiroshima and his own amazing thing.

    • @markobarrows4304
      @markobarrows4304 8 років тому

      Adam went on to work with Chaka Khan, Wayne Shorter, and Miles Davis. Now he is with Steven Wilson and they sound as good as any band can.

  • @aliensporebomb

    Very tasty playing. Nice to use the legato stuff for more than just flamethrower shred.

  • @oldbladderhorn
    @oldbladderhorn 9 місяців тому

    what delay timing is the best for that thing shown(exercise)
    and do you set it manually to a metronomes ticking,
    so it blends and smooths out the legato and will a noise gate help
    and how dry is the reverb, and type.
    I've got that very same amp tone out of my line6 helix
    and the Les paul studio, but alas the guitar'its not set up for
    Holdsworth-ian legato flurrys..yeah that amp tone is nice
    it was hidden away only came across it by a lucky chance.
    as I favour clean-ish rhythmic full tones
    that's a sound I like.
    that early 50's tone with those hidden sonic harmonic undertones
    that bites the hand that feeds it that cuts through even at low volumes..
    how I do miss my old 30w bassman head an cab lost for 30 odd yrs.
    it was a sonic beasty aye just a bit of digging in and wow

    Man, if this guy stopped using pull offs and used only hammer ons, he would be completely like Holdsworth. I love that tone. It sounds like a tube amp.

  • @PsychosisGnome

    He's using the notes of E Dorian, the same scale he uses during the backing track in the whole video.

  • @davidosbiston9265
    @davidosbiston9265 6 років тому

  • @panamanian911
    @panamanian911 11 років тому +1

    Distortion can be a deathtrap. You can manage it if your goal is to get a sustained and sweet- smooth tone. If you over do it, it won't sound as pretty as this guy's.

  • @tomlensher

  • @C861986
    @C861986 10 років тому +2

    I get you need left hand strength and control but how important is having low action on your guitar? do you need super low action or can it be done with just average action?

    • @jfo3000
      @jfo3000 Рік тому

      Low action helps, but too low of action actually makes it difficult to do cleanly...the first finger must mute both strings adjacent to the string being played...if strings are too low you'll end up barring the next higher (thinner string). So low action, but still high enough to avoid this inadvertent barring.

  • @FreedomZealot
    @FreedomZealot 13 років тому

    @musiciansinstitute My 13-year-old son, who started playing a year ago and is now transcribing Hendrix tunes (!), DREAMS of going to GIT. Absent financial aid of some kind, there is no way this would ever happen. Could you direct me to some info about the aid programs available?
    A geologic era ago, when I was an aspiring session player, GIT was my dream, too. I'd love to make it come true for my son.

  • @svenlk
    @svenlk 10 років тому

    you want to pluck the string with your left hand while pulling off, instead of just taking your finger off the string, pluck it decently hard in a downwards motion. good pull off's are key in making your legato sound bubbly like a saxophone.

  • @Esbenmad
    @Esbenmad 11 років тому

    Yes, kind of. But find some basic videos here on youtube. Fx Justin Sandercoe - he has really good lessons. He calls it flick offs, though, but it is the same technique. Search for legato Justin Sandercoe.

  • @DavidFeilyMusic
    @DavidFeilyMusic 15 років тому

    that doesnt mean he doesnt sound like him or vice versa. The eric johnson/bonamassa mannerisms. EJ and bonamassa sound similar. Both in tone and left hand. bends as well

  • @cerelilqt
    @cerelilqt 13 років тому

    @musiciansinstitute I have the same problem, if I could get a student loan, it;d be a different story, but the fee cost is prohibitive. I also live in the UK so if I earn money here, it would mean doing about 3-4 years work because of the lousy exchange rate, if I earned the money in america, I wouldnt get anywhere because of the awful minimum wage.
    Because they raised cost of degrees in UK, I'm prob gonna study in australia instead.

    I have to ask, since i really didn't understand Marshall in his video, what really is the legato he is trying to explain? i don't understand how you can have legato with no pull off's, as he stated in his video. he went way too fast in my opinion in his explanation.
