Leapin' Legato!


Welcome to Leapin' Legato, A lesson that will surely get your left hand leaping!

Legato runs require alot of left hand strength and agility, so if you experience pain in this lesson, STOP and go back to it later. Make sure you really hammer out out the pinky notes on this exercise, that is generally the weakest part of the hand. Really give your left hand a workout with this exercise, no pain, no gain (to an extent). Remember to use a metronome, (VERY IMPORTANT), and play it slowly at first and concentrate on solid timing.
