It's not just his legato but if you watch closely he has impeccable economy in his alternate, economy, and hybrid picking. He reminds me of Rick Graham, a really good economy picker, who has such totally minimal wrist movement and precision. It's also the cleanliness in his execution that conveys articulation and control of dynamics. Well, I'm not necessarily talking about him but players like him that are very respectable in the sense that their technique is masterful but they're still very musical.
Yeah. I guess I’ll have stick to my slow hands ?.
You're not the only one man, but I'm happy just making music with an acceptable level of technical skill because musical instrument mastery really comes with natural talent. You can only develop so much with diligent practice, and there are many players like that who have the technical skill but just don't have the musicality. David Gilmour said you have to have the music in your head first and I believe that to be true, but you also need to have the skill to translate that to the instrument. If I were to care much about where I stand among great players, I would have quit a long time ago.
He only has a handful of videos, and like I said, I just came across this video and it caught my attention. I'd like to hear the guy lay out some jams and hear him in the context of composition, and also more improvisation.
