Hi GMC! This is my first lesson. I hope you enjoy it. To start I chose Greg Howe´s style. As you may know Howe is a great rock fusion guitarist, he´s got many technical resources:  legato, sweep picking, tapping, alternate picking and an extense musical vocabulary. I recommend you to listen as much as you can about this incredible guitarist.

In this lesson I use:
-Legato
-Sweep picking

The chords progression is:

//:C#m 7/ % / C maj 7/ % /Bm 7/ % /Bbmaj 7/ % ://

The Tempo is quarted = 120

-C#m7 I play:  C#m blues scale/ C#m arpeggio/ C# dorian
-Cmaj7 I play: Cmaj7 arpeggio/ C Lydian
-Bm7 I play: Bm pentatonic/ B Dorian
-Bbmaj7 I play: Bbmaj7 arpeggio/ Bb Lydian

Listen to the "colors" each mode creates. Practice each section slowly and coordinated, and increase the velocity gradually.

Enjoy the lesson! See you soon!
