      Like, picking the first note of the current string and do hammer-ons right after?
      This was something quite fast for me when I was composing my third song (I was playing for like, 1 year); I've never seen that before, but it was quite obvious that someone done it decades ago. Well, for a couple minutes I felt like I discovered a new technique lol

    Thanks Rick! Great Video! I found a great tom Q. video on "lazy first finger syndrome" a number of months ago. turns out my brain internalized that video and i was in fact doing hammers only without being mindful of it (in most instances) totally copping that lick in the middle by the way, thanks!
    Also not sure if its because of how my brain is wired but I can watch a 20 minute video of yours and follow every second. Shorter more "structured" videos with jumps and flashy frames lose me in a minute. Ive been known to ramble as well (peep this wall of text) but its interesting a fellow self professed rambler is so easy to follow from point to point....great minds think alike?

    In the electric guitar world, legato is discussed wholly in terms of the left hand. In the classical guitar world, slides, hammer on’s and pull-offs are not the only way legato is taught. Legato on classical guitar is a singing line. That seeming connection of one note to its predecessor can be achieved without a single hammer-on or pull-off. Both hands can be used for every note in a legato passage. The electric guitar is not that different, as two-handed legato is also a thing. I don’t see much discussion of legato of that kind, however, in instructional books about electric guitar legato.

    Hey Rick, great tips! It's not a big deal but I was wondering if there's a reason why you prefer to bend the G string downward as opposed to upward? For instance at 11:56 - I usually treat the the strings symmetrically in my mind, bending the bottom three downward & the top three up. Perhaps you mention this in another video but I'm willing to make it habit if it's beneficial!

    • @bobbycline8043
