How high should my string action be for the loudest and clearest legato with left hand only?
Thanks in advance.

This. Most pure legato guys do favor lower action... But also say that even action matters more than high or low.If you don’t know, then try it low. At the end of the day, your “loudness and clarity” will result more from technique than an exact string height. The quality of the guitar’s fretwork, nut height, and fingerboard radius will largely dictate how low of an action you can get away with.
Thanks for advice, I will try this out.Try practicing unplugged, or with an extremely unforgiving tone (a clean tone you can push into overdrive is great for this).
Seriously, if you can get clear note articulation while playing unplugged, then as long as you can also mute unwanted notes well enough, you can get even legato runs out of ANY gain structure.Thanks for advice, I will try this out.
yngwie malmsteen has veeeeery high action and he seems to do pretty well
Legato seems easier for me with low action and thin strings. But it's probably more about technique, yngwie malmsteen has veeeeery high action and he seems to do pretty well
....and plays 7s, lol.He also has scalloped frets and super jumbo frets and..yngwie is yngwie..
