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....
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!!!
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!
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 !!!
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!
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!
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!
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 :(
The very first name that always comes in mind when it comes to legato is Joe satriani. There is hardly any player who uses legato so much as satch. Rick Graham was inspired from Satch and Guthrie consider his legato playing very influential. Without listening to his legato playing technic and style, it would be incomplete. But anyways, u r amazing dude. Very nice lesson....
I'm not here to diss the legend but Satch has a very simplistic not overly complex legato technique. It can be apparently quite obvious once you begin to familiarize with his music... I grew up listening to Joe...You notice he has a limited repertoire of legato runs compared to Rick, Guthrie or Tom, he doesn't shift and slide that much all he does is follow the ascending/descending pattern in a box or adjacent to it. Not saying that I can do Satch's legato ( I'm still struggling execute his slower tunes cleanly lol) I really would look into other players if I want a juicier legato technique, Joe's legato can be a great stepping stone though.
@@nethbt Well I understand what u said brother, but I am talking about the speed and melody that he creates with his legato playing. The way he just flows with the notes is exceptional. Rick and Guthrie are anyways an extraordinary guitarists and there is no doubt but even they consider him as one of the inspiration. It's also not about who inspired whom but for learning this particular technic specifically, Satch should be the first person to look upto in my opinion.This video was posted for educational purpose and so I thought to refer a player who is great at it..... Whatsoever let's not talk about anyone...At the end it's important for u and me to play it😀
@@sanjugholley I don't care how complex the playing is if it sounds recognizable. Satch is one of those guys that you can recognize from their playing.
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.
Just downloaded your free tabs pack!! I am better at learning the tabs if they are right in front of my face. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!! You ROCK!
dude, these are all too advanced for me. i only just play chords on my acoustic. but i love your content. with all these free materials/tabs/tutorial/exercises. i think you're one of the best guitar channels out there. and you're not just some guy trying to sell but actually wanting to educate people. so i'll keep subscribing and maybe someday i'll pick up an electric guitar with some pedals and your vids can help me learn. keep it up. thanks bro.
@@clinttustin I'm new to these type of tab formats. I followed the steps to download them, but I'm not able to open the tab folder. What is a zip folder and how do I open it? Thanks. But I really do like your posts.
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.
muchas gracias, es de gran ayuda para los autodicatas que le sacamos probecho a tus videos - Thank you very much, it is a great help for the self-interpreters who take a shot at your videos
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.
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.
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.
This is important with 3-note per string shapes: practice with your metronome with 16th notes audible if you have that setting (most app metronomes like PolyNome have that). Start slow around 80 bpm and ensure you are articulating clearly, landing on the 16ths; this ensures you have the separation Clint mentions. If you don't do this you'll tend to cram the three notes prior to going to the next string...
Great video on topic! I would also recommened legato exercises from Frank Gamble's Chop Builder. There's some gold in that guitar school on other techniques as well.
Dude please never change the style you make these videos. I’m sure I’m not the only one that appreciates the shoutouts to other people and videos of the same topic, your personal tips and play through, and the icing on the fucking cake the tabs in the description. Your channel I can honestly say is one of the greatest guitar channels on TH-cam in my personal opinion. Thanks for everything you’ve taught me so far and thanks for doing what you do in the manner that you do it. Your content is top notch dude 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Kurt Rosenwinkel is another legato player. Doesn’t do it as much as the guys listed here, but he’s heavily inspired by Holdsworth. John Cordy is another solid legato player too. Awesome video bro!
Hello, thank you very much for uploading these licks. They are helping me a lot to improve my legato. Could you upload alternate pick licks please, greeting from Peru!
Rick and Guthrie. Holdsworth and Gambale are from planet Lęgätõ Măgørīsmnør. They are also time lords. (tap on the shoulder startles me. I turn around and a grinning Holdsworth is standing there. He reaches Towards you and : CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY A. Plays a Dm Phrygian dominant run on your forehead. You get tunnel vision and you black out. B. the same as above except its Frank Gambale and he hangs up the phone with his elongated finger and hangs up the phone youre on. He collects the entire amount of change in the pay phone. Frank says, "Perfect !" and splits the take with you. Drops $3.50 usd quarters in your shirt pocket as drool starts to just creep over the edge of your lip as you think to yourself. A. What a wonderful world in the voice of Louie Arnstrong. B . Frank says. "Hey! Cowboy Bebop ! C'mere. I guess we gotsta do this the hard way." You quickly and audibly reply, "Uh No No...NO EASY WAY IS JUST FINE! Given a choice. I WASNT GIVEN A CHOICE !!! uh that is Sir...Mr. Gambale Sir." You cringe' A. You wet yourself and beg not to be shredded and killed, becoming an ingredient in Holdsworth House Salad Dressings and devoured by thousands of pretentious jazz guitarists. B. Run like Hell and wet yourself while making machine gun farts with every step as you dash across street dropping your cocoa at Gambales feet. He says, "Mothoo Fakoo!" or something inaudible but your half way into the road and cars are honking and tires screeching.
Dude not only your guitar techniques but your video and editing style is also amazing
I second that. Really setting a new bar for TH-cam guitar lessons
I also like too.
I was about type this same thing. Will be following for more content for sure!
@Kingsley Nadar what?
Seriously this is some killer production
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....
Steve Howe, Steve Vai also
Yes's Steve Howe, surly amongst the greatest. 😎
Allan the goat.

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!
The most clear and chill teacher Ive stumbled across on YT.
Clint, I really wished you uploaded more. your videos have the most perfect vibe.
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!
Richie Kotzen is another huge master of the legato ... Nice video !
his vhs lesson is super incredible
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.
Guthrie taught Tom Q who taught Jack Gardiner. Scary technique all.
Really? Damn!
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!
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!
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.
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 :(
Focused, precise and effective! Just like your playing.. even though you forgot to mention Satch.. but still, you rock Clint! Keep it up there!

Thats a great exercise workout there. Cheers for mentioning Holdsworth too, he was a Legato beast, and had an incredible musical brain.
Thank-you very much for magikses lessons for future softley-speed taiping!! Very big health yours and good luck!!
Excellent! Your videos are so concise and packed with info...please do a video on downpicking next!
Thrash legend Alex Skolnick has a very underrated/ under appreciated legato techniqie. His solos in Testament's "The Ritual" album is quite sublime.
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.

Lo-fi hip hop beats to legato and relax to
Wow this video is far better than what i expected it to be
You're video editing skills are lit😭🔥🔥
Love the quality of your videos man
Could you do a Synyster Gates technique and style tutorial please? 😊🙏 been trying to learn and understand his style of playing solos for 2 years now
Love your videos honestly my favorite tutorials on TH-cam
Great channel Clint! Cheers from Brazil my friend!!! 👍🤘🇧🇷😁🎸
Came for a fast guitar lesson, but got a really slow down vibe lesson Great!
My favorite is Dave Murray!!! He is the best and I saw him playing live for 3 times here in Brazil.
muchas gracias, es de gran ayuda para los autodicatas que le sacamos probecho a tus videos - Thank you very much, it is a great help for the self-interpreters who take a shot at your videos
Allan Holdsworth is the man when its comes to legato
Nick Johnston is also an awesome guitarist who utilises legato and hybrid picking
Kerem Özdoğru love Nick’s playing.
bruh dave murray is the legato legend! thanks for the awesome video :)
Underrated channel
Best channel for guitarist ever
Amazing lesson and presentation bro 😎
Well done. A lot of good teaching here packed into approx. 8 minutes.
Wow what an aesthetically pleasing video, great stuff
You never think that Britain has the finest legato guitarists in the world at the mo 👍

This is one of the best legato videos on UTube!
Man your work is productive, A guitar TH-camr should be like u.
Thanks man!! ✌️
Multiple finger tapping tehnique would be a great idea for one of your upcoming videos
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.
TH-cam recommendation did not disappoint today. Just wanted to say as a long time player I really love your teaching style and vids. Subbed.
Justo estaba buscando ejercicios para legato.Grande saludos desde Lima Perú.🤘
Because of Joe and Quayle I’d like to change my major technique to legato instead of alternate and shredding.. thanks for the excercises..
Excellent video bro! thank you for your exercises! greetings from Mexico!
Really really great excercises
Dude..your video editing extremly excellent ..love it
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.
Early Richie Kotzen was a legato demon!
Actual Richie Kotzen is still a legato demon, if not even better, now that he doesnt use a pick for some years...
Not too many peeps know this. His reh video is a killer lesson.
I still use his examples to this day, 20 years and counting
Vinnie Moore
I was just about to mention ritchie and vinnie✌🤘

Keep up the awesome videos and tabs - Your Guitar Pro files are fueling my practice sessions these days :)
Hey man it really helps to have those alien length fingers! Like your 4 inch long smallest finger👈🏻 as Paul Gilbert calls it big ol paws
Great video man! Helped me a lot!
Wow! This is a smorgasbord of stuff to tackle at a great time. Thanks Clint.
Gran video Clint muchas gracias! Estoy aprendiendo mucho con estos locos tan divertidos,gracias otra vez
Excuse me, im gonna steal the diminished pattern haha, great video, keep up the good work
Great bro you are doing a great job I am guitarist from India and I appreciate your work.In future plz make a video on different scale and patterns
You are my favorite guitarist
Lots of love from Nepal
Sou do Brasil, seu canal é ótimo!!!!!!!
My favorite legato masters growing up were Gilbert and Lynch.
Thank you a lot for share! very interesting tips! I will
You have a great technique. Great stuff.
Amazing job! Thanks dude
Awesome video brother keep it up!
Key to Holdsworth style is not using pull offs, every note is hammered on whether ascending or descending
great lessons man. ill try to play these licks
Brilliant lesson. Thanks!
you deserve much more recognition
Great video on topic! I would also recommened legato exercises from Frank Gamble's Chop Builder. There's some gold in that guitar school on other techniques as well.

Michael Schenker is super smooth with his legato
I love Richard Henshall. He has got so tasty legatos inspired by jazz and metal.
Check his "Twisted shadows solo" or "cocoon solo". You won't regret!
Dave Murray of Iron Maiden is an awesome, clean, smooth legato shredder.
This is pretty awesome!
