Who needs both hands to play guitar?

Unleashing the Power of One-Handed Legato: A Masterclass with Graham Young

Have you ever wondered how to achieve lightning-fast speed and liquid-smooth phrasing without using a pick? If you are looking to push the boundaries of modern shred, look no further than the incredible technique of Graham Young.



Mastery Without the Pick

In a stunning display of technical prowess, Graham Young demonstrates how expressive and powerful guitar playing can be through one-handed legato. Performing on a Kiesel Vader 7-string, Young navigates the extended range of the instrument with phrasing so smooth it doesn't require a single pick stroke.

Why Focus on One-Handed Legato?

Mastering one-handed shredding isn't just a technical "parlor trick"—it is a vital skill for the modern guitarist. It allows for:

  • Seamless Phrasing: Achieve a fluid, vocal-like quality in your soloing.
  • Speed and Efficiency: Eliminate the coordination barrier between the left and right hands for rapid-fire runs.
  • Extended Range Exploration: Open up new possibilities on 7-string and other extended-range guitars.

Graham’s approach showcases that with the right technique, the fretboard becomes a wide-open landscape for creativity and power.
