This Legato Pattern Transformed my Playing - The Power of Permutations

[@michaelgriffin5304]

You're the one who needs to teach lessons on TrueFire....

[@ksharpe10]

This lesson was discussed by Andy Wood today on his Live Podcast. As well as several people talking about how Good John Cordy is.

[@aural_supremacy]

Your point?

[@Takianagi]

I've been using some of Guthrie Govans books along with my lessons to improve my legato playing. You and Tom Quayle are huge inspirations! Thanks for the great vid and I hope your week goes well John! 🎶🎸🔥

[@Avatar7x7]

One of the clearest and most concise lessons I've ever seen on legato technique .. Excellent lesson !!!

[@jcruise24]

This is the best legato lesson I found on KZbin. Kurt Rosenwinkel is who I discovered the technique from. Thanks John for the excellent lesson on a subject that is not commonly taught.

[@devonswars]

Love this. The descending sounds amazing

[@jfo3000]

Ah yes. I also learned this one from Paul Gilbert's first instructional video when that video "dropped" lol! It's one of those golden nuggets that makes one sound more "Holdsworthian"! It's also fun to create other 8 note permutations across two strings, or two different 8 note groups across four strings, or 3 different 8 note groups across all six strings! Throw in some chromatics as well: 3 or 4 notes a half step apart into a sequence. Then you're cookin'! Fun with Fusion!

What I like about your videos man is that you still have fun with it. I really enjoy your intros and outros solos. They’re really inspiring. It’s like you’re saying indirectly that “this is what you are going to be able to acquire in this video.” And your lessons are great! They’re not the usual ones but they come from your personal life experiences and journey as a musician. Keep it up man! 🙌

[@ksharpe10]

Your so good at those pinky finger pulloffs.

[@bradrapp3697]

You just gave me something to work on that I’ve needed, and easy to understand as well. All your videos I’ve seen are excellent, thank you!

[@jprestonian]

This was very impressive. Thank you for sharing!

[@ThePanchomack]

Great Lesson! love your tone and phrasing

[@TimGuitarcouk]

Beautiful playing and helpful as ever. Thanks again John

[@juan.asensio.musica]

A truly great lesson. Thank you!

[@THEItchybruddah]

Thanks for including the melodic minor chunk! VERY useful!

[@CortMarshal]

Love the Monday videos

[@guitarlink79]

So awesome!!! great lesson. Thank you 🙏

[@13aphomet]

You are an amazing guitar player bro.. So freaking smooth. 👍🏼

[@musickind4871]

Fantastic. Important lesson

[@choppingpenguin]

My go to legato phrase as well, love this one!

[@101xaplax101]

holdsworth is smiling in his grave listening to this, knowing that his legacy has permanently altered human culture

[@NickKsywa]

Hi John, helpful clearest video. THX!

[@Mainstreet2006]

Great lesson. Thanks!

[@musiccreation1198]

Great stuff John, thank you

[@LofiandChilloutMusic]

I’ll try this tomorrow

[@mattoakes6010]

Great lesson!

[@2good2betrue3]

Hi mate, just stumbled upon your video and it sounds amazing. I'm more on the heavy rock metal sounding bands. But lately i've been digging this sound, thanks for this lesson, I just want to ask where do I begin If I want to play that kind of genre? Just want to add ....the tabs are really helpful. Cheers...SUBSCRIBED.👍

[@juanserodriguez5006]

Very nice ❤

[@terrapin323]

bro... 3 nps melodic minor? fuck yeah.

[@markcarleton6647]

I enjoyed the video. The technique you’re using reminds me of Eric Johnson. Just to be clear that’s a compliment! How often are you picking the notes versus slurring or hammering on to the notes?

[@robertkingi5087]

Brilliant lesson, thank youJohn. In terms of content how do you feel about using these ideas over a Jazz standard?

[@Corey_G]

Paul Gilbert demonstrated these legato phrases in his 1st REH video release. Check it out John, I think you’ll like it …. Vinnie Moore does it too. Enjoy 😊👋

[@Dan-nz2ts]

Which preset in gum Road is that auto swell effect please? Thank you.

[@ToneDeth.]

i think with the first example i suck at the 5 9 stretch so i play the same notes but doing it 5 7 e string then 45 a string then 4 d string then 57 a string to 4 d string. this is why im terrible. far too stubborn in my ways. then continue the rest the same. you get the nice slide from the 4 on d to the 6 for next pattern. but lose the proper legato of the e and a strings.

[@gabrielfiedler5550]

Hi John, great lesson!!! Do you find it easier to do legato with lighter gauge strings like 8s or heavier strings like 10 & 11s? I thought lighter would be easier but heard from several great guitarists that 11s were easier. Thanks 😊

[@christopherjbutler]

I believe John uses 10s on his strats which are his main axes. Not sure about the dgt he is playing in the video

[@sardarbelal3114]

any basic tapping exercise?

[@andyglamrock]

I've been meaning to ask you, what's your action height at the 12th string? Thank you!

[@davidlavin4774]

Do you have any similar patterns that work descending?

[@davidlavin4774]

I was playing around with it. On a three notes per string patter (1 2 3), maybe (first string) 1-2-3-1-2-1 (next string) 3-2, repeat.

[@davidlavin4774]

Or (first string) 3-2-1 (next string) 2, repeat.

[@pramesh.gurung]

which plugin are u using for the synth sound at the beginning?

[@heyman3752]

Paul Gilbert has those pull-offs that sound very staccato.. he's good in alternate picking but legato? nah! on the other hand, satriani, brett garsed & allan holdsworth are the best examples of the legato masters.. not tom quayle, not rick graham nor guthrie govan (no offense to their fans.. ✌️), govan has a lot of pull offs on his lines but the above mention guys that i blurted out.. true legato does not have pull offs but reverse hammers..

[@nicklantos2913]

FG

[@nuendo2496]

Is there something wrong with that guitar? Sounds dull….

[@slicksalmon6948]

That’s the sound of a DGT if not amped properly. It goes dark quickly.
