legato exercises


slurs and symmetric scales

Here are couple of exercises I like to work on from time to time. Keep in mind these examples represent only a basic concept and a number of variations are possible - but i'll spare you the redundancy. The take home point is that symmetric scales can be a great aid in isolating specific technical problems.

Deeper insight into right hand legato technique can be found in the book Pumping Nylon [1995, alfred publishing co., inc.] by Scott Tennant . . . highly recommended (even for "non-classical" guitarists).
