When I try to do legato that sounds as articulate as this I have to exert some serious finger muscle and my hands tire out quickly - I can't be all "effortless" or the sound is so weak and pathetic as to be worthless. I use .10s on my Suhr with what I consider to be medium action.
After watching that for 1.5 seconds and looking at the higher frets I can tell you that guitar has insanely low action. Action and string gauge are a huge factor. Left hand economy with how high your raise your fingers along with being able to fret a note with the minimal of touches will give your that floaty "Violin" like legato.

Technique and guitar set-up. There's no way certain phrases I play could be done with thicker strings and horrible action that requires more vertical distance to fret a note.
I noticed a Shawn Lane type bebop lick there too, amazing playing. With that set-up you can just fret a note from nowhere to get that fluid legato sound. It starts to play like a piano at that point.

I remember watching a vid that suggested that heavy string gauges and good tone aren't actually conflated but I'm not sold on that yet.
I suppose I should experiment with 9s and lower action to hear/feel for myself.

Faster and easier doesn't necessarily equate to more endurance. I'd even argue that since you'll be able to move faster, you'll tire even more quickly - either you have developed the fast-twitch muscle fibers enough or you haven't.
So you should do trill exercises and then 16th and 16th note triplet legato finger group exercises until you develop the stamina. Back in the day, I used to do these exercises until I'd be standing up squirming in hand and forearm pain from lactic acid build up, waiting for the timer to complete.
A few basic exercises:
Trill groups:
1/2
1/3
1/4
2/3
2/4
3/4
16th legato:
||: 1/2/4/2 :||
||: 1/3/4/3 :||
16th sextuplet legato:
||: 4/1/2/4/2/1 :||
||: 4/1/3/4/3/1 :||
Trills are easier to execute, therefore they target the fast-twitch muscle fibers better, so you should practice those a lot to start. Use the stopwatch on your phone so you don't cut any short. Then take the gains from those and bring them to the legato drills. Then move the drills into diatonic scales, vertically and horizontally.
Deepfat: "I guarantee I beat you by at least 6 strokes. Afterwards, I'll slide my thick conservative cawk in your old lady just to finish the job."
z4: "So when are you available in September to play?"
Deep: "On second thought, I don't play golf with broads. You're such a scumbag that I'd be much more inclined to just slap the chit out of you."
z4: "MMA match works, too. So when are you available this month?
Deep: "I won't subject myself to being in the presence of a scumbag."

My string height might be higher than I'm indicating, for example it's kinda scary to bend the high E string any more than 1 full step due to fear of string breakage due to tension.

What's the height of your high E from the bottom of the string to the top of the fret wire at the 12th fret?

Meh, maybe I just have a genetically weak left hand and should focus even more on high level picking technique.

While we often get caught up on technique sometimes it's nice to know the whole point is making distinct and melodic music that yourself and others can enjoy.
I like this guys analysis of many songs. I stumbled randomly across his channel and this is one example of what appears to be very basic song but has some clever layering and lots of dynamic consideration with vocals and instruments.
A lot of people and mainstream pop music are drifting away from this to more image based.
Apparently the person who wrote that song did it in a few days while stuck waiting in hospital. You have to realize many of us could be stuck in a time vacuum for 1,000 years and never come up with something this clever and catchy.

^too bad about the specs, it's got a neck as wide as those 2015 Gibsons. had an SG with the 1.75" nut and it just felt weird, never got used to it. it's as if there should be an extra string over the extra fretboard room lol, some sevens are that wide.
huge non-ironic fan of Small's music too, Dethklok has soooo many legit riffs. They encapsulate the 2000's melodeath sound really well.
/e in other news, I bought a Squier Toronado last month and I've really been digging it. It's like I found what I was missing from Gibsons - like an SG except it doesn't neck dive and like an LP except it's actually comfortable to rest your arm/body on. Can't believe it's not a regular production model…

Depends on your hands. A skinny neck at the 1st fret can be even worse. My Ibanez JS came with a 42mm locking nut which always felt too cramped. There were certain voicings with an open G string that were difficult to consistently play cleanly down there because of the tighter spacing.
Of course someone with dainty little fingers would love it. New neck with 43mm locking nut solved the issue for me. Wider would have been even better but 16" radius locking nut wasn't available.

Howdy Dominick and all others….
I haven't checked in here for a while and didn't quite know where to post this should it help others.
Well….I have the the 7-100 that's been 'flaky' in it's old age for some years so it just sat in the closet.
All the contacts were corroded with leaked battery evidence.
I found this YT video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BXU...ature=emb_logo
AND….I found that the battery enclosures ARE available:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FGV8J1P/?tag=tdpri-20
I've ordered my (2) pack today and there are 10 left in stock.
So….all is not lost and we can bring our 'flaky' old Pignose back into the tool box arsenal.
I don't record with it but it's a great portable amp.
Hope that helps….have a great day.

No, this is his 3rd sig guitar from them I think, Thunderhorse (explorer) and Snow Falcon (fly V) back in like 2013. I always wished I got a snow falcon, but didn't want any cheapy epiphones in my collection. Looking back that was stupid.

Hello all
I started learning about a month and a half ago, using online resources and going to a teacher once a week. Things are progressing well, I have a solid grasp on the minor pentatonic scale and am starting to work on the minor blues scale. One problem I am having is I am only used to working on the pentatonic scale so I keep on wanting to play it while trying to practice the blues scale. Is it just a matter of repetition and practice before I am able to easily differentiate between the two? Any tips to make it easier?

Be aware….the pentatonic can be a mental trap .
But, you've already made that observation.
Carry on….keep up the discipline.

It's a handy little dude.
I think mine came out in '74 but I can't recall exactly.
You can get a bit of distortion by turning up the Pignose volume much higher than the guitar volume.
Although I can play lead enough on my originals I don't feel very proficient/musical at it
I have others do that role on my song writing drivel.
I'm a rhythm player/song writer and have always preferred that role.
So….I'm not a big fan of thick distortion or the wall of sound chording and much prefer a cleaner rhythm sound.
If I were asked I'd call my writing genre 'coherent rock'.
(links in my sig)
If you find a used one it would be a cool tool as a good practice amp or with any very small venues.
Thanks for asking….have a great day everyone.

How do pignoses sound? Is it your typical small practice amp sound from the pre-modeling days?

I just got mine back yesterday afternoon after my buddy gave it an overhaul.
Changed the corroded/broken battery case connections and it sounds damn fine.
Only a very low (which I always expect with this Pig) amount of hum that becomes unnoticeable when I turn up the volume.
That minimal hum does not increase with volume.
I suck at electricity/electronics repairs.
Have a great eve….

Working on my slow, "soulful" playing. Here's my okay cover of the first Comfortably Numb solo. One of the notes I clearly forget to do vibrato if you pay attention and there's one or two off-key bends but the best I could do with Red Light Fever.
For some reason youtube is uploading my video in full potato video mode.

Hey guys, I wanna share my mixtape. These are tracks from my solo work. I describe it as Pop, with influences from Disco, Funk, Groove, Rock & Roll, and synthwave/vaporwave. Thanks for listening.

Listen to 2:42-4:15. You can so vividly hear the chord changes underneath his lines even though he's just playing single notes, I really want to be able to do that. But I can't and it pisses me off. Mike Ehrmantrout's got some serious chops.

Try me… I mean arpeggios. Come up with a random progression - works even better if it's not diatonic - record it and loop it. Then on each of the chords start with simple 3 note arpeggios to get the feel of it and in different places on the fretboard and then try to not just play the notes in the same order and come up with some licks but make sure you hit the first downbeat of the chord with a note of that chord's arpeggio -i.e. chord tone. If the chords are "jazzy" enough you will hear the distinct changes of chords.

Just run 3-string arpeggios over the changes he's playing:

|A7 |D7 |A7 |Emi7 A7|
|D7 |Eb°7 |A7 |F#7 |
|Bmi7 |E7 |A7 F#7|B7 E7 |
Then toss in a few tritone subs, like Emi7 to Eb7 on bar 4 like he does on the first chorus, and there ya go.
You keep saying "I wanna be able to do x" but then you don't do it and then say a month later, "I wanna be able to do y" and then don't do that. Just do it, man.
You have 4 sets of 3 strings (1,2,3 / 2,3,4. etc) learn each of those arpeggios in 5th position on one set of 3-strings. Outline the changes. Doesn't matter if it sounds like an exercise - it is one. Eventually you'll start adding in rhythmic phrasing and it will sound better. Then you'll add in extensions, subs, and chromatics and you'll be there, but you need to get the basics down first, which is making arpeggios that sound predictable.
Now do it, and don't watch David Grier playing Black Mountain Rag or something and want to be able to do that. He's doing the same thing - just in a different style.

z4: "So when are you available in September to play?"
Deep: "On second thought, I don't play golf with broads. You're such a scumbag that I'd be much more inclined to just slap the chit out of you."
z4: "MMA match works, too. So when are you available this month?
Deep: "I won't subject myself to being in the presence of a scumbag."

BUT I do store these notes y'all give for the day I fully commit and hunker down.
On a positive note your speed exercises seemed to have helped me increase my max bpm by like 10.
