For the December 2012 edition of Guitar World magazine, I put together my back cover column "Last Licks" based around the Legato technique and in the style of some of the great hard-rock players of the 1980's including Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, Richie Kotzen and Joe Satriani. Characterised by a fast, smooth tone, the Legato technique provides contrast to the picking-based techniques, and will help develop fretting hand strength, stamina and accuracy.
For the audio I used an Axe FX II set up with a Marshall Brit 800 Mod type sound (boost set off) with TS808 tubescreamer overdrive with the drive set to half and some medium room reverb (stereo delay from logic on mixdown) and pseudo double tracking (doubling the track and delaying one side/panned hard left and right), straight to an Apogee ensemble card into a Mac Pro running Logic. For Video, a Canon 60D and FCP X for editing. Guitar wise, i used my Ibanez J Custom JCRG-2 TB with EMG pick-ups. (see gear page http://martingoulding.com/gear/). The supporting video goes into some detail breaking down the examples in a way that will be accessible for intermediate level players.

To hear this technique in context, check out some of the solos i've put together in the style of the greats.
