Hey GMC!
Let's take a look at some beginner alternate picking! The past 3 lessons have been about legato, so now we're working on a new technique that is the opposite of legato: alternate picking!
Tonality : We'll be using the diatonic scale of B major
Chord progression :
B, F#/Bb, Abm, E (x2)
B, F#, Abm, E (x2)
Equipment and Sound : I used a Telecaster with single coil pickups on the middle setting, ran it into a Line 6 UX2 Studio and POD Farm. Used an emulated Fender Bassman amp and an emulated Tubescreamer. I used a rotary speaker simulator in POD Farm on a very low setting to add some texture to the sound. Then added compression, delay and reverb and recorded into Garageband. I also added a little more compression and reverb in Garageband.
Tuning :
A 440 Standard
