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.
What is a legato lick?
This lick uses the E Natural Minor scale, and uses a lot of hammer-ons and pull-offs. This is to be expected, because the term legato in music means to play the notes very smoothly with no audible gaps between them.
