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!
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!
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 !!!
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!
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.
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 :(
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
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 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
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...

Good Lesson Clint, keep it up! One question, Do we need a special setup for the guitar / amp / sound / pedals to achieve maximum results? Thanks!
Hello man. Thanks for teaching . from Mexico to Argentina. we want to learn with your method. Is it possible that the titles come out in Spanish ?. please🙏
I watched 2-3 of your video and your editing also shredding was pretty fantastic Im a musician too but on yt i make gaming meme edits (i know many ppl asked u this but) what program do u use to edit? Thanks boi keep up long live to metal
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

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

Focused, precise and effective! Just like your playing.. even though you forgot to mention Satch.. but still, you rock Clint! Keep it up there!
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.
Richie Kotzen is another huge master of the legato ... Nice video !
his vhs lesson is super incredible
Clint, I really wished you uploaded more. your videos have the most perfect vibe.
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!
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!

Satch is my fave!
This is one of the best legato videos on UTube!
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 :(
Thats a great exercise workout there. Cheers for mentioning Holdsworth too, he was a Legato beast, and had an incredible musical brain.
18 seconds in and I already know this will be a good educational video! Much appreciated!

Guthrie taught Tom Q who taught Jack Gardiner. Scary technique all.
Really? Damn!
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.
bruh dave murray is the legato legend! thanks for the awesome video :)
My favorite is Dave Murray!!! He is the best and I saw him playing live for 3 times here in Brazil.
Underrated channel
Best channel for guitarist ever

Thrash legend Alex Skolnick has a very underrated/ under appreciated legato techniqie. His solos in Testament's "The Ritual" album is quite sublime.
I love these, made huge gains from your sweeps video and this video came at the perfect time.
Excellent! Your videos are so concise and packed with info...please do a video on downpicking next!
Justo estaba buscando ejercicios para legato.Grande saludos desde Lima Perú.🤘
Dude..your video editing extremly excellent ..love it

Thank-you very much for magikses lessons for future softley-speed taiping!! Very big health yours and good luck!!
You're video editing skills are lit😭🔥🔥
Well done. A lot of good teaching here packed into approx. 8 minutes.
So is the first, middle and 4th finger always used? Do you ever use the ring finger at all for this technique?
Nice playing. Great exercises. Thanks for the tab too!
Verry verry impressive and helpful video for me !!
Cheers from Nepal 🇳🇵
Gran video Clint muchas gracias! Estoy aprendiendo mucho con estos locos tan divertidos,gracias otra vez
Great channel Clint! Cheers from Brazil my friend!!! 👍🤘🇧🇷😁🎸
Wow what an aesthetically pleasing video, great stuff
Wow this video is far better than what i expected it to be
Keep up the awesome videos and tabs - Your Guitar Pro files are fueling my practice sessions these days :)
thanks man
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.
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.
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
Because of Joe and Quayle I’d like to change my major technique to legato instead of alternate and shredding.. thanks for the excercises..
You are my favorite guitarist
Lots of love from Nepal
Nick Johnston is also an awesome guitarist who utilises legato and hybrid picking
Kerem Özdoğru love Nick’s playing.
Love the lesson! Greetings from Singapore!
Key to Holdsworth style is not using pull offs, every note is hammered on whether ascending or descending
Love your channel bro. You’re a great guitarist.
Sou do Brasil, seu canal é ótimo!!!!!!!
Came for a fast guitar lesson, but got a really slow down vibe lesson Great!
You never think that Britain has the finest legato guitarists in the world at the mo 👍
Excellent video bro! thank you for your exercises! greetings from Mexico!

Thanks for the the amazing lesson!
Ty so much. Can u plz give the picking pattern for #2. Are u picking u,d,u or just u,d? Appreciate all u do
Man your work is productive, A guitar TH-camr should be like u.
Thanks man!! ✌️
Excuse me, im gonna steal the diminished pattern haha, great video, keep up the good work
Allan Holdsworth is the man when its comes to legato
Awesome video brother keep it up!
This will be great for quarantine
New to your channel. Cool content and cool techniques man! I dig the video style as well.
You deserve more views and followers
fantastic video mate....got a lot of new ideas and patterns to try! Thanks! A new fan and sub..
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
Great video man! Helped me a lot!

Other than decent action on the guitar you should be good. Whatever feels right
Dude! Rick Graham is the shit! What a surprise you picked him First! -peace
Lo-fi hip hop beats to legato and relax to
God damn. The extra effort in the presentation is impressive.
I really like your style of videos mate! great content too
Great playing and perfect teaching style!
Greg Howe is a beast too, very Holdsworth inspired. Holdsworth is the best I've heard though, he was next level.
My favorite is Buckethead legato, descending from Paul Gilbert legato style
Nice video! Btw what do you use for revording your videos?
Hello, your videos are awesome. Do you have online lessons for Legato, Sweep Picking, & Building Speed
My favorite legato masters growing up were Gilbert and Lynch.
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✌🤘
Clint, you are amazing legato player as well :D
Hello man. Thanks for teaching . from Mexico to Argentina. we want to learn with your method. Is it possible that the titles come out in Spanish ?. please🙏
Dave Murray of Iron Maiden is an awesome, clean, smooth legato shredder.
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!
I watched 2-3 of your video and your editing also shredding was pretty fantastic
Im a musician too but on yt i make gaming meme edits
(i know many ppl asked u this but) what program do u use to edit?
Thanks boi keep up long live to metal
