LEGATO SHRED LESSON & EXERCISES (+TABS)

Get my TONE: darkroomaudio.com/
Whenever I ask what videos you would like to see, “legato lesson” is always the most requested topic. I really do love legato playing, but I don’t consider myself an expert on it. For that reason, I decided to make this a longer video where I wanted to showcase some of the real legato masters (those who have inspired me the most), then talk technique a bit, and lastly show some of my go to patterns. For anyone who is a fan of my playing, these patterns are a huge part of it. I hope you guys enjoy this video and I really hope that it gives you some resources to check out and get really stoked on legato playing. If you search videos or lessons on any of the guys I mentioned, i guarantee you will be happy you did. Cheers.

Dude not only your guitar techniques but your video and editing style is also amazing

[@doom-mantia]

I second that. Really setting a new bar for KZbin guitar lessons

[@guiadasgalaxias9199]

I also like too.

[@cooper456456]

I was about type this same thing. Will be following for more content for sure!

[@samkingsly1636]

@Kingsley Nadar what?

[@snaxandviolence]

Seriously this is some killer production

[@russelwoods6986]

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....

[@michaelcraig9449]

Steve Howe, Steve Vai also

[@truethought2581]

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

[@TurbulentJuice]

Just want to appreciate the time you've spent arranging, editing and putting this all together. I'm very thankful for your uploads on here.

[@salty_fingerz]

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!

[@jackharrisguitar]

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!

[@robalo61]

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!!!

[@LaziestBassist]

The most clear and chill teacher Ive stumbled across on YT.

[@mikerodriguez1722]

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.

[@marksamman7327]

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!

[@DeadShred9]

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 !!!

[@joviankid9034]

Focused, precise and effective! Just like your playing.. even though you forgot to mention Satch.. but still, you rock Clint! Keep it up there!

[@xtjbx7531]

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.

[@afonsobaleeiro3719]

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!

[@kev2403]

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!

[@tylerbeaulne1769]

Clint, I really wished you uploaded more. your videos have the most perfect vibe.

[@neilbrophy1826]

Nice playing. Great exercises. Thanks for the tab too!

[@DanBeauleArt]

Brilliant lesson. Thanks!

[@hierrogm]

Really really great excercises

[@Music-um9pc]

Because of Joe and Quayle I’d like to change my major technique to legato instead of alternate and shredding.. thanks for the excercises..

[@ramitsharma6177]

Awesome video brother keep it up!

[@brandonrox10]

This is one of the best legato videos on UTube!

[@manolomunozsantillan9496]

Amazing job! Thanks dude

[@swamibrahmavadin5234]

Mate you ace! Just needed some new inspiration lick to my music thanks for that! Would love to see more of these runs! In some key varriations.

[@imbinod2564]

Verry verry impressive and helpful video for me !! Cheers from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@richmckeemusic]

I really like your style of videos mate! great content too

[@eduardovieyra409]

Excellent video bro! thank you for your exercises! greetings from Mexico!

[@rastanz]

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.

[@TM-guitar]

This is pretty awesome!

[@evertineo6856]

Justo estaba buscando ejercicios para legato.Grande saludos desde Lima Perú.🤘

[@alexandresell5333]

My favorite is Dave Murray!!! He is the best and I saw him playing live for 3 times here in Brazil.

[@rubixmania6621]

That was a really good video👍

[@stihlsavvy]

Wow! This is a smorgasbord of stuff to tackle at a great time. Thanks Clint.

[@hamshobatatis]

bruh dave murray is the legato legend! thanks for the awesome video :)

[@davidrose1806]

Exercise 1-4:16 Exercise 2-4:30 Exercise 3-4:34 Exercise 4-4:41 Exercise 5-5:00

[@Wingsoficarus90]

Love your channel bro. You’re a great guitarist.

[@langsfordmusicltd283]

[@ZeNeonKnight]

Love these exercises!

[@tronusguitars4150]

Great job Clinton

[@erikroque2133]

Good stuff!!clear and concise!!

[@digjen.k9309]

Man your work is productive, A guitar KZbinr should be like u. Thanks man!! ✌️

[@johnlannikk2701]

Came for a fast guitar lesson, but got a really slow down vibe lesson Great!

[@n3v3rsvff3r2]

New to your channel. Cool content and cool techniques man! I dig the video style as well.

[@andrewalexb]

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.

[@incitatus634]

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 :(

[@rainofficial1924]

This will be great for quarantine

[@nethbt]

Thrash legend Alex Skolnick has a very underrated/ under appreciated legato techniqie. His solos in Testament's "The Ritual" album is quite sublime.

[@wakanakapisihello5655]

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.

[@attilaramirez3147]

thank you for make this video, is really good in the way to teaching

[@furyan82]

Awesome content dude thank you gona apply these to my practice routine. need work on my fretting hand... picking hand just seems to out run it.

[@Olivia_Evil]

Wow thats a great video. Thank you.

[@sannteh3065]

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.

[@sannteh3065]

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.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

You have a great technique. Great stuff.

[@keilacavalcantikc3629]

Sou do Brasil, seu canal é ótimo!!!!!!!

[@rollingsctone937]

You are my favorite guitarist Lots of love from Nepal

[@monocyte2210]
