Announcement: GuitarControl.com releases “Easy Guitar Lick with Legato - Lead Guitar Lesson on Melodic Licks”
(PRWEB) November 24, 2014 -- “Here is a melodic idea you can use to create your own licks,” says Johnson, “its kind of a mini lick within itself.” Claude demonstrates this easy guitar lick that uses legato as follows. 7th fret of the 3rd string with first finger and a hammer-on to the 9th fret with 3rd finger to the 7th fret of the 2nd string with first finger and a hammer-on to the 8th fret with 2nd finger followed by a triplet hammer-on and pull-off between the 7th and 8th frets and then descend back down the sequence. Guitar TAB’s are available for this easy beginner lead guitar lesson at GuitarControl.com. Claude recommends checking out his course “Killer Guitar Control Secrets” for more lessons on this style of guitar playing.
Legato is Italian for “tied together” and in musical terms means that notes are played smoothly and connected with no interval silencing between notes. Legato is achieved on guitar when playing a sequence of notes using hammer on & pull off techniques.
The major scale, aka the Ionian Mode, is a seven tone diatonic scale that is widely used in western music. The eighth duplicates the first at double its frequency so that it is called a higher octave of the same note, which its name is derived from Latin "octavus", the eighth.
