💬 Lesson Description

Most of us want to learn our scales since they can be quite helpful for theory, fretboard mapping, improvisation, and understanding the melody in pieces of music.

Today I want to talk about doing scale runs on guitar with slurs that are smooth, slick, and light.

It’s really good for our technique to incorporate slurs – legato playing – into our scales.

In this video I’ll demonstrate a few descending scale runs on guitar with sheet music and tab that show you exactly where to use these slurs.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson about using slurs in scale runs on guitar and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought in the comments.

Thanks! :)
