Legato Technique.
“Legato” means “fluent” in Italian.
The definition: “in a smooth, flowing manner, without breaks between notes.”
It’s a soloing technique heavily used by rock and metal guitarists.
Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are some of the guitarists whose soloing style is heavily legato-oriented.
The technique consists of playing lots of hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides so not every note is picked.
Here are some examples of great legato playing:
Steve Vai’s “The Black Forest” starting at 3:39
Joe Satriani’s “Not Of This Earth”. (1:09)
Here’s a pdf with a ton of exercises that you can download.
The following video discusses the technique.

These free lessons are cool, but you will never experience the progress, joy, and results that my students experience in lessons when you’re learning by yourself from blogs and videos.
That is why people take lessons: way better results and progress, much more complete information, exposed to way more creative ideas than you can get from a blog or YouTube video.
There is only so much that self-study can accomplish.
If you want to see amazing results and progress in your guitar playing, buy your first lesson here and get started ASAP.
