Why It Matters
Legato scale runs can sound uneven if the transition between strings is not perfectly timed. This exercise ensures that the first note on each new string is struck cleanly while the subsequent notes flow seamlessly, building high-speed coordination.
How to Practice
- 1Pick only the first note on each string, executing all other notes with legato.
- 2Coordinate string transitions quickly to prevent gaps in the rhythmic flow.
Tips & Techniques
- •Use your fretting-hand index finger to mute the string you just exited.
- •Keep your pick strokes minimal and synchronized with the initial notes.
