A Killer Legato Workout - Rick Graham

[@Eodemus]

It's disgusting how extremely clean and precise you play!!

[@Corgifunni]

You mean extreeeeeemely

[@dutramtamang3129]

Its beautiful.. tremendous beautiful. Not disgusting.

[@ethanpederson]

@@dutramtamang3129 It’s a figure of speech

[@indoshakermaker]

To the guys that are worried about not having a 24 fret guitar: Frets number dont matter folks!! Just play it in different key to suit your guitar guys. Yngwie shreds on a 21 fret guitar. Stop with the excuses

[@ask_0349]

True

[@tetonaconbitcoin8513]

This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "paul paul guitar" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ganyatty Guitar Gainify - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.

It is nice to have a 24 fret guitar though :)

[@emanueleservadio8791]

I discovered that I am a much better "legato guy" than "alternate picking". Thank you so much Rick, you are awesome!

[@daoyang223]

Left hand is either easier or right hand is easier. I am the same way.

[@howielowis458]

Same for me. It comes natural depending on the basic style you are used to. Gotta work on both, tho

[@julianloef202]

My Legato is naturally better. I am practicing my alternate picking every week for at least 2 hours intensivly tho. I discovered that I prefer the sound of Legato over alternate picking. Except when playing metal and you need a neat ascending lick or change positions

[@astrophotonics9470]

love ricks stuff, always challenging.

[@abdelrahmankhaled8239]

playing legato that high up the neck is really really tough.... damn

[@LyndenLegault]

IS THIS GUY A LEGEND YET???????????

[@pathaleyguitar9763]

Hi I'm from the year 2019 and I can officially confirm that yes, this man is LEGEND.

[@pathaleyguitar9763]

Rick is a beast on guitar

[@theguitarsurgeon6213]

I love it you do love a bit of legato

[@ZackBrannon]

now i really wanna watch good fellas

[@glennlambson9923]

I don't even sure that beasts like Vai or Satriani could play like you Rick... In all seriousness

[@guittardaxel7746]

Buckethead can

[@rumman_huda]

Buckethead can

[@guittardaxel7746]

Buckethead is the absolute guitar player, that's all dude

[@rumman_huda]

A Ke you should listen to buckethead. Then you'll be able to know it on your own

[@ake5790]

Rush Rumman i listen about 80 albums....electric eye is nice but Buckethead is far away from other guitar players

[@JustAnother_Irishman]

I'm really going to practice this practice this.

[@ronailson_Silva_Official]

Muito lindo 😏👏👏

Savage mate!

[@edwinmaldonado3191]

He had me at Jimmy Two-Times

[@7thString84]

That's one fucking great hell of a lick, Rick! :D Really, I love it soooo much! Great, great work, Mr. G.! :D I've just started and it's fun already! But one humble "correction": Just YOUR fingers want(ed) to do other things than the lick. Just because of your very widespread knowledge of the fretboard. ;) Sometimes, "mortals" like us don't recognize where we are on the fretboard instantly and that's the reason why the lick is a matter of movement-series, rather than a matter of visualization. Do you know, what I mean? It is very difficult for me to ask that in English, sorry. Rock on, man! \m/ :)

[@mapleash9586]

Genio!.

[@TheBongEntertainment007]

Awsmmm....thank u sir

[@dougg1259]

So where is the tablature or are you going to tell me where your doing that at ???

[@GauravSharmaMusic]

+rickgraham are these patterns created by you?

[@RickGraham]

+gaurav sharma Yes.

[@GauravSharmaMusic]

+Rick Graham thats amazing, i was just wondering with the other videos you have like the legato warm up pattern the quick but slick licks series and other stuff do you sit down and create those licks intentionally or do you just come up with those while you're jamming? appreciate your help! thanks!

[@arnulfosediego5919]

the best! new subscriber here idol...

[@MsDavo123]

First of all this was really incredible but i have a question ok you mentioned many many times timing is important but are you playing 16th notes or triplets and is everything under the same tempo or there is a change in tempo?🤔

[@franciscoadonis1068]

i am listening straight 16th notes on the intro, i dont listen any time changes

[@NastiaKossiak]

What program, gear do you use? I find it very difficult to have a nice sound although I have a very good guitar and amp (my pedalboard suks) Do you use pedals or simulators on the pc? If you tell me It will be very apprecieted.

[@ruzcelbeltran]

I've been watching this video since 2018 haha until now i cant still learn it.

[@christianboutot1316]

Funny : when you play the licks slowly it is boring! !!!! it sounds so great when you play it fast, so much melodic and powerful !!!!! Thanks Rick you are right: timing is the basic! !!!!

[@xpicklepie]

I can do all that fairly well. I just can't keep the high E and G strings from ringing out.

[@jakenogard9667]

Virus and bacteria would never survive in this very clean lick🤘

[@ManuelPerez-tp6re]

could you tab this out? It's pretty difficult to get the fingering down because I'm tuned a whole step down.

[@BugraSisman]

+Manuel Perez I just did it. www.dropbox.com/sh/ncle3nrb9x35wqo/AADTfn6OJGtNs2qQTauN3-hQa?dl=0

I wish youre my Father Mr. Rick and teach me everyhing on this insane Legato techniques.. Soo Difficult too build up the strenght on my fingers on pull ups and hammer.. 😂🤣

[@stevecarey8671]

I know you can just transpose the piece down three frets if you haven't got 24 frets, which is what I will do, but its an unnecessary added chore when your learning off a video that's in a different key or pitch to what you are playing on a 21 or 22 fret guitar. I thinks its important that the learner can hear when they are matching the video note for note. Why present a challenge on top of a challenge??? Thanks for the video though, appreciated as always.

[@MarcosKtulu]

so cleen

[@1lucasii]

anyone know what model Ibanez that is? looks great

+NoTaMolester Ferguson great. thanks!

[@hadiyatvirgiawan]

@@Mr._Least ok thanks im going to luthier and fix the playbility and yes now my guitar is proper and now i can play this legatto workout hahahaha

[@BrunoSirilo]

is it normal to feel pain in the back of the hand?

[@mitchell.colbert.113]

Hey I know I'm not Rick but hopefully my response will help you out, I'd say you're just working your fingers and the muscle is getting tired, just make sure to watch your left hand position! Try to keep the thumb from coming over the top of the neck as best you can. Copy Rick's hand position and other players you admire. Good luck man!

[@BrunoSirilo]

Thank you, it's getting better

[@cliftonvandemyer9340]

if you could refrain from talking so much i could hear the notes alot clearer but great legato :)

[@theviciousheadsociety4923]

Wouldn't be able to play this in 3 lifetimes. Just don't got the chops!

[@Cambamv]

The Vicious Head Society its just a matter of determination and the will to do so. Then, like myself, you could do this effectively after just three years of playing. If you keep working at it, it will come.

[@christopherfarish4965]

I ONLY HAVE 22 FRETS! 😰😰😰

[@1airsoftboy]

yeah, I'll have to find a couple more frets someplace. that said, for me, the shredding is fine for about 5 secs, then becomes a muddle of notes with no taste...and that said, I can appreciate the talent to be able to do it...cheers

[@PursuitSk8]

Peaceall remember, it's an exercise not a song
