12-Week Shred Transformation
Shred Routine: Week 8
Legato (Hammer-On & Pull-Off)
So far, we’ve practiced 4 of the 7 basic legato patterns introduced in the first weeks. Let’s continue this week with Pattern 5.
Reminder: Before practicing, make sure to take breaks and stretch your hands between exercises. Legato requires extra effort to get a clean sound without picking the notes.
Pattern 5 – Legato Across All Strings
We’ll begin by applying Pattern 5 across all 6 strings using the G major scale.
Examples 1–7 (30 minutes)
Pattern 6 – Legato Variation
Next, we’ll move on to Pattern 6, continuing with the G major scale shapes.
Examples 8–14 (30 minutes)
Wrap-Up
Alright, see you next week!
