Using a combination of picked notes, hammer-ons and pull-offs is essential for creating dynamic, expressive solos and guitar parts. The three techniques allow you to play flowing lines and place accents as necessary.
In this straightforward video lesson, Elixir Strings artist Chris Rocha shows you how to use a legato-style approach – with some targeted picked notes – in an A minor pentatonic lick. It’s an easy pattern to transpose into any key and you can use the concept in every playing situation!
Explaining why he’s a fan of Elixir Strings on his electric guitars, Chris says, “Elixir Strings set the tone for excellence! They help to elevate my sound and make every note count.”
