I would say Carlos' advice will definitely help, but the one thing I would add is to remember in achieving those descending pull offs, (and I'm assuming the string changes are the hard part) is that the finger you pull off TO must be already holding down the string and ready to "catch" the pull off in order to achieve your desired note. I hear you on scales played backward (descending) being difficult. If any just let me know and I'll try my best to help you. It may be kind of tricky to figure out from text, I should probably shoot a video about this. That's where the palm of your picking hand comes in, you have to, progressively, mute the strings that are let go by the index finger with your palm. As you move up to the higher strings, the less you will be able to damp with your index finger. Your index finger on the fretting hand has two functions when it comes down to noise control: its "belly" has to mute all the strings as if you where placing a barre chord, but without tension, whereas its "tip" has to be in contact with the string above the note that is fretted in order to keep said string muted. This is a little bit tricky to explain in writting, but I'll give it my best shot.
Your most important tools will be your index finger on the fretting hand and your palm on the picking hand. General Noise Control: Background noise control is essential when using high gain. Repeat many times the hammer on that you gotta do when switching strings until you can get a clean cross-string hammer on from nowhere.ģ.1 Once you get the items above straight, go on and practice licks or etudes with musical meaning so that legato can be more part of your expresive playing rather than a mechanical notion.Ĥ.
Try and emphasize on that HAMMER ON FROM NOWHERE. Pull-offs on Descending legato: You may already know, but the rule of thumb is that whenever you ascend you pick the first note of the sequence going up and, when going down, you always hammer the first note from nowhere and then just keep pulling throughout the lick or whatever you are doing.
