Did I say picking out the melody was the most difficult thing to do well on the guitar? I lied, legato is! Playing legato is the essence of beautiful music and our target must be to replicate the voice soaring seamlessly between notes - no silences. To achieve this on the guitar is a nightmare.
This exercise is laughable in its simplicity, but a pig to play well. Even played slowly, the first finger of the left hand has to leap swiftly onto the next string, synchronising the pluck of the right hand finger with no discernable silence; this is once the right hand can play legato effortlessly though.
