In this guitar lesson, Silvio Gazquez will teach you 2 basic patterns which are like the abc of lead guitar technique. Notice how he uses these patterns in one string, then once you have it you can move it to the next strings.
I recommend you to listen to some of the greatest legato players, like Allan Holdsworth, Richie Kotzen, Greg Howe, etc.
Start it very slow at first and increase the speed gradually with a metronome!
Also, don´t forget to come up with your own ideas, which is the best advice for starting to find `your´ unique guitar sound and style.
That is all for today... Anyway I suggest that you keep enjoying and learning from Silvio Gazquez and all the staff at Guitarcontrol.com! Where? In our free guitar lessons at http://www.youtube.com/guitarcontrol
