What are legato licks?
On the guitar, legato means that notes should be played with hammer-ons and pull-offs - a great way to bust out your most rapid licks without the added pressure of picking at speed. Legato is most useful when there are multiple notes on one or two strings.
What is a legato technique?
Legato is a musical performance technique that produces fluid, continuous motion between notes. Each individual note is played to its maximum duration and then blends directly into whatever note follows. Legato notes are often slurred; that is, a group of notes is played together in one down-bow or up-bow.
