Hi my name is kieran been playing the guitar for about a year now im not that good im looking to improve i take lessons but i want to expand into different styles and develop more knowledge in the theory department.

I like metal, rock a blues

bands like judas priest, motorhead, saxon , iron maiden, eric clapton, bb king, led zepp , the who and queen ECT.

Thanks for the welcome all no not saxon shore but SAXON the NOWBHM band orginal name Son of a B***** . and with Legato the problem i have is when there is 3 different notes in it like 7-9-10 its because diffcult for me to make the notes sound properly

Is this when hammering-on, pulling-off, or both?

I would practice some trill type exercises, so like:

0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1 etc, fretting with your index finger
0-2-0-2-0-2-0-2 etc, fretting with your middle finger
0-3-0-3-0-3-0-3 etc, fretting with your ring finger
0-4-0-4-0-4-0-4 etc, fretting with your pinky finger

This can be done on any string you like.

This will increase your finger strength and should help with legato.
