Guitar legato is a technique that involves playing notes smoothly and connectedly, with minimal interruption between them. It's a way to achieve fluidity in your playing, making your melodies and solos sound more expressive.

Guitar - Legato Lesson 2 - Brett Ecklund - May 2024
In a level 2 context, this typically applies to beginning or intermediate players who are learning to apply this technique more consistently and with greater control. At this level, musicians might work on exercises and pieces that help them practice transitioning smoothly between notes, maintaining a consistent tone, and controlling their breath or finger movements to achieve a seamless sound. This practice would not only involve simple scales and pieces but also slightly more complex sequences that challenge their ability to maintain legato over longer phrases or through more intricate passages.
