Notice that the ending phrase is the same as the Penta Shred 3 lick but everything else is more tricky ! I created these licks to not only give some ideas for pentatonic phrases but also to introduce you to some of the picking pattens that I use. They might seem unusual so if you really don't get on with them, then feel free to modify it to something more natural for you but I do encourage you to give my picking approach a go.. there's method in my madness ! I use consecutive down strokes where many people might use upstrokes instead.. I like the forceful sound that it gives. The down side is that it can make it harder to stay in time but see how you guys manage with it ! Penta_Shred_4.gp5 ( 1.93K ) Number of downloads: 127 Deadline is next Friday 20th July or I'll make you dance around wearing a tutu in front of the Apprentice group !

So today I decided to pick up my guitar again and here is my take for this week's task (luckily this week we don't need to have a great tone ) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You nailed those patterns easily.... I think you can do a better job at bending my friend so maybe we should think about setting you up with some bending licks or lessons ?

I just sa you posted Mojo Oro 3 too. Wow!! Thanks Chandra The third part is like the first one except for the crazy run at the end. Honestly I could have done better with the third part but I think I've had enough Mojo Oro Practicing too much alternate picking somehow killed my enthusiasm to play the guitar I mean I can do fast AP but it is sort of pointless, I can't do that kind of stuff while improvising, it is only after I practice, you know what I mean?

I tried both ways and just had a better flow for me with the economy upstroke. I can see why you play it your way with the added power to the downstroke.

Just checked out Mojo Ojo 3! Real inspiring to see you play such intensive and demanding lessons. I'm sure you'll find playing all these demanding lesson will not be "pointless". You'll have that conditioning and sync that a lot of players strive for. I'm sure it will naturally carry over into a lot of your future playing. Just look how effortlessly you play the penta lick.
