In this solo I started with the limitation primer of “Staccato vs Legato”. This put me in the frame of mind to develop contrasting phrases that move between Picking all the notes vs going for smoother sound by using fretting hand legato and slides.
In this lesson we dive into rhythmic control with both picking and legato, how working on both helps develop more confidence in phrasing in improvisation. We then dive into some Legato concepts using string skipping not only to create interesting sheets of sound but to further our dynamic playing within melodic ideas.
