Why It Matters
Removing the pick forces your fretting hand to do all the work. This builds massive strength, finger independence, and timing control, leading to incredibly fluid legato runs.
How to Practice
- 1Strike only the first note of each string, executing the rest with pure legato.
- 2Ensure hammer-ons are strong and pull-offs are clean and snapped.
Tips & Techniques
- •Keep unused fingers hovered close to the strings to prevent sympathetic ring.
- •Flick the string slightly downward during pull-offs to maintain volume.
