Legato is a smooth, non-articulated transition between two notes. On a guitar you do this by using hammer-ons and/or pull-offs.

I thought hammer-ons and pull-offs were short stabs (effectively staccato notes) In by opinion it's very hard to get legato from a guitar simply because the strings are plucked and not bowed like on a cello... :confused:

A fancy name for ice cream, used so vendors can charge you a buck extra... oh wait that's gelato. Sorry, couldn't resist for some reason *shakes fist at immaturity*. :(

The main difference is that Gelato uses eggs and whole milk instead of cream. Overall Gelato has much less fat content than Ice Cream. The other difference depending on the quality of the Ice Cream; is that most Gelato is made "today” and from fresh ingredients.

It's amazing how these posts start on subject, and just spiral out of control, and btw, el gato also has alot less fat than ice cream, it's the Atkins alternative...........
