Why in demonstrating hammer ons and pull offs did you pick each note? That literally defeats the purpose...

[@alexjackson8841]

Remember legato is a sound, not a physical technique. You can use all hammer-ons/pull offs and still have a staccato sound. I feel like not enough guitar players remember that

[@jordanj9069]

YEP

[@jordanj9069]

You can even pick every note and have a fairly legato sound

[@alexjackson8841]

@@jordanj9069 It's funny, legato is often seen as the easiest way to play fast but actually legato in its true sense is incredibly difficult. Maybe one of the hardest things? Playing a whole passage and not hearing a single string change like Holdsworth did it just insane.

[@jordanj9069]

@@alexjackson8841 oh man true legato when changing strings is extremely difficult One of those things where even great players will admit you need to have the right setup to perfect it

[@armorgiraffe]

Yeah personally tho I prefer the holdsworth legato style where you only use hammer ons, to me thats the gold standard of "pure" legato (I dont mean that in a snobby way)

[@davie7199]

Tapping is for mindless shred-heads It can however, be very nice when used in moderation but anyone tapping more than 4 times a solo are in grave danger of Baby Dick Syndrome

I've personally never met a Brandon that even knew how to hold a guitar. That's just me. 🤷‍♂️

[@Schizniit]

I think it sounds cool to pick half the notes in a legato run. It sounds a lot different when you pick every other note instead of just picking each string once

[@anthonyr598]

You’re fucking AWESOME !! I love your freaking energy man!!

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Great lick and I love how you put it in context. A lot of lessons like these don't do that.

[@JohnDoeJohnboy]

Get a shorter scale neck guitar like a junior or melody maker, ask your local guitar supplier the frets are a lil bit smaller it made reaching 5 frets easy for me as I had same problem even after playing for years. Hope this helps bro 🙏

[@davespin9034]

Refreshing to see a young guy doing diatonic scales, they’re important! Doe ra me fa so la te doe is a diatonic scale, 7 modes. How many guitarists know that pentatonic scales fit perfectly into diatonic scales? You certainly do! 👍👌

[@AAAA-lt9hq]

Doing this lick on acoustic will strengthen your left hand more than doing this lesson on a Tele because the action and string gauges are usually higher on acoustic. Playing acoustic in general is more difficult because it requires more hand strength. Nylon string classical might be a good alternative from which to start for building hand strength.

[@lukdb]

Make it all hammer ons and legato suddenly becomes one of the hardest techniques out there.

[@woodshed_moments]

I love that Tele, particularly that finish, and it’s a 62’ banded style, looks like custom shop - very nice

[@jean-philippepiche1202]

HAHAHAHA THE ENDING GOT ME😂

[@scotttam7491]

Well acoustic can be the flashiest when you play it right billy strings or tommy Manuel can put shred just about anyone yeah I know there other but they were who came to mind first. When I was younger I never touchy my acoustics but nowadays it’s really all I play there something about the simplicity of just you an a guitar that makes it so beautiful you have nothing to hide behind or mask your playing when you mess up it noticeable l. Kinda like how playing slow is harder than fast not playing slow to learn a part but when you play part that have silent notes an space when you hit a wrong note it takes so long for the next to come that it just screams f up lol we’re playing fast it over an your on to next a lot of time ppl don’t even realize u hit a wrong note

[@nerdsofthefist]

[@ripcord93]

[@LuisCamacho.guitar]

Legato sure is flashy! But never easy!! You have to practice your legato game bro!

[@equalleftrights3130]

He's an internet guitar teacher bud. 90% of what they say or claim is major league BS. They're trying to sell a product and they know only 1-2% of people that pick up a guitar is willing to sit down a d practice Legato for 4 years to develop the necessary strength and accuracy it takes to develop a good Legato technique especially with a solid pinky finger. Everyone else wants God like technique and chops in 6 months and actually believe its possible so telling them the truth = no new sucker students. But my favorite number 1 Internet Guitar Teacher bullshit claim is the one where they say. "It doesnt take strength to play guitar, you needz to do the relaxingzzz". 🤣 Yes, you indeed should try and relax, but good look getting the required strength and accuracy by relaxing. The human body just doesn't work that way. My second favorite bullshit line is, "you have to play fast to get fast". I bet Chinese classical musicians get a kick out of that with their robotic, technique they all possesses via painfully slow, mistake free practice. Practicing fast only guarantees one single thing, you'll be making more mistakes.
