GLISSIN’ IN
Andy Wood is a big fan of Steve Vai and Guthrie Govan, both of whom are known for liberally employing legato articulations in their melody playing, such as slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, bends and glissandos (long slides). These techniques are very effective for giving your lines a slippery, rubber band-like sound. The chorus melody from the title track to Andy's latest album, Charisma, offers a nice example of how he uses these techniques to create see-saw- like melodic figures during this section.
