I like legatoing on two strings in a sweeping motion. Kinda like the climax in Tornado of Souls solo.
# 2
I like sliding up the neck into notes. It makes me feel all tingly inside.

They're all my favorites.

My favourite technique is string bending. I'm a big fan of a really loud, intense bend on the fourth.

Hello! Can somone give a clear view about what's legato, and how can I do artificial harmonics on acoustic guitar? Thx.

legatos are usually just single string runs that use very little/no picking. (hammering on and pulling off, essentially.) and um, not to sound close-minded, but why the hell do you want to play artificial harmonics on an acoustic? a better and cooler acoustic technique is something like a slap harmonic, where you play a chord and karate-chop the notes your playing 12 frets above; it gives it a real cool bell sound like a natural harmonic, but you can play it in any position.
btw, i just learned a really sick song by donovan frankenreiter called "butterfly" a few minutes ago. that will rid you of any desire to play metal guitar on an acoustic.

Very hard to choose, however I find myself ( lately ) legato tapping jazz/blues scales and bending harmonics ( Artificial ).

Just depends on what sounds the best at the time. Never gonna get a tapping sound out of sweeping so I find it hard to compare and choose one over the other.

I really enjoy playing sweep picking arpeggios. There is just something about the sound of a fast sweep! I also like just sustaining notes with very wide vibrato.

I love the smooth sound of fast and clean legato....sounds more like a sax/horn player when done right.

The intenseness of alternate picking.
The fluidity and melodic potential of sweep picking.
The weird sounds you can potentially achieve through tapping.
Not sure how much melodic potential sweep picking brings to the table. If you sweep a bunch of arpeggios in a row you haven't really constructed much of a melody.

I agree, sweep picking is for show-offs. (And yeah, you guessed it, I can't do it. :o :D )

Well, I never said it was for show offs; arpeggios are very important in music, but the typical sweep patterns you see in songs really don't have a melody, they simply outline one.

Well, I did! :p
Naw, you're right - arpeggios are very important, and they sound fine when anybody except me is playing them.
