Vertical 3 Note Per String Runs 4

Course: Learn To Shred with Sam Bell

In this video

Improve your legato technique and left hand accuracy with these 3 note per string runs

This lesson expands on the previous 3 note per string lessons to focus on legato technique - using runs of hammer-ons and pull-offs. This is great for developing left hand control and timing, and gives a more fluid sound to our playing compared to picking every note.

E minor scale

Here we're using the E minor scale at the 12th fret on strings 1-4.

How to make the most of this course

See below for the interactive TAB synced to video this exercise. Use this to help you master this lick and build up your speed. Useful features of the interactive TAB player include:

  • Slow down the lick to see how it's played
  • Loop a section to focus on that part before moving on to the next section
  • Activate the 'fretboard visualisation', which shows which note is being played as well as which shapes are being used, all in real time
  • See the TAB brought to life as the player syncs to the video in real time!
