Feedback
Daniel Realpe12th November 2009This technique is awesome, you have it down excellently,
and it´s useful, there´s really no other way to mute the strings sometimes,
David Wallimann19th August 2008Good question brother,
the track is in Dorian, but I'm using relative modal positions. In other words all the modes follow each other on the fretboard like positions...
Makes sense?though u said it in is a dorian, how come the other modes are in the lick?
does the modes have different boxes like the pentatonic boxes does? or are the different boxes the different modes themselves?
just wondering.
Pi3819th August 2008That's a really cool technique.
Melodicintenions4th April 2008in a barred position I believe had to add that!

when you mute the strings with the right hand your muting the First fret correct?

Today we'll study the hand over legato technique. This technique consists in playing legato with the left hand while muting the strings with the right hand over the neck.
This guitar trick is challenging, but visually rewarding. Make sure to be comfortable with regular legato before tackling the following examples.
The backing track is in A Dorian and we'll use mostly 3 notes per string.
Serious practice and dedication will make the difference here.
Have fun!
