Legato Exercises

Legato is to play more than one note, picking only one, with this technique the sound is smoothier and softer. You can play a legato picking one note and play all the others by hitting the fret, without picking. Maybe you want to combined this exercises with this one(important exercises), will help you increase your finger strength .
The notes played with legato seem with the black line above them.

The picking is up,up down,up,down,down et.c.
