    One great legato player that doesn't get mentioned often enough for his use of it has to be Dave Murray from Iron Maiden. His technique is so fluid and he has incredible dexterity and strength. I love the creamy, thick tone he gets on his solos with that selector in the double humbucker neck position. It's the perfect contrast to Adrian's more staccato pick heavy wide vibrato style of playing, but yet they compliment each other so well. I've learned a few Adrian solos and licks but not much of Davey's so this explanation and analysis of legato will really help. Cheers Cameron! 👍

I came up in a very small town in NC and it was very hard for me at first cause there was no one to get lessons from so I had to learn by ear and I never really got some of The licks my favorite guitarist were playing like Yngwie and lynch, Rhodes just to name a few, my point being, you would have been my straight up go to guy for lessons brother.

    Awesome as always. I love the Iommi mention in this video! His trills are settled quite literally at the foundation of heavy metal! Much of his solo work had some insanely tasteful Legato-Esque trilling.
    The part in this video about the exercise where you would alternate finger trilling between middle ring and pinky reminded me of the famous dimebag clinic video. He demonstrated his exercise he created for warming up and developing his technique . Starting up at the high frets from high string to low string he would trill the same pattern down the neck until he wasn’t able to anymore… then switch fingers and repeat! What a legend!
    Very underrated technique here! Thanks for your time Cam. Look forward to the next video! Oh! And btw, I’m currently sitting at home waiting on my San Dimas pro mod to arrive!! You were definitely the reason I went for this model!

    I love Charvels, one time i bought an Ibanez Prestige which was around $1500 USD and immediately returned it. The Charvel sound had way more balls. The ibanez sounded too thin and the neck to me was uncomfortably flat. I l love charvel and fender necks in general.

    • @squirelova1815
      @squirelova1815 Před 3 lety

      Yes, I know. Those ultra thin "Wizard" and flat 16" radius necks can hurt your wrist after a while if you're playing chords since it kinda makes you pinch on the strings instead of holding them normally on a more 'C' shaped neck.

    Also very important regarding any legato playing is the proper setup on your guitar. Unless you have super strong fingers and wrist an expert setup is a must. Just look at Cam's guitar, the strings are pretty much sitting right on the frets and no buzz!! If anyone has some good advice for a an American Strat setup please reply. Where I live there are no good "luthier" types around that can setup my guitar. I've tried but it's still not good enough

    • @CameronCooper
      @CameronCooper  Před 2 lety

      Very true! But a lot of you would be surprised, I have quite a high action on my guitars. Most people who play one of my guitars make that comment first. Even then, a good set up can only get you so far. If it's too low where the action is practically kissing the fretboard, I actually find that super difficult

  • @GarageRoomFilmsandProductions

    How do you build strength in the pinky when trying to do a legato with your ring finger down and doing a pull off with pinky? It’s the hardest thing in the world for me because it’s like the 2 fingers are connected and I can’t make them independent from each other when doing legato. For instance doing 1-3-1-4-3. How should one practice doing the 4-3 and build that independence between those 2 fingers?

    • @CameronCooper
      @CameronCooper  Před 2 lety +2

      An important part is to simply use your little finger more. Where you might have used your ring finger for licks and ideas, try using your little finger instead. It's not about strength, it's about accuracy. Accuracy first, strength comes second
