Economy picking technique used when playing arpeggios in horizontal position. Good for improving left/right hand coordination and getting the right feel for triplets when played fast.

In this lesson we will work on basics of legato. It is very important to work on legato the correct way from the very beginning as it often happens that guitarplayers practice legato the wrong way - and later spend much more time correcting mistakes than actually practicing the technique. There are a few secrets you should know in order to master this very useful technique and you will find them all inside!

"Map My Gap" fusion solo lesson continued. This part will be an excellent illustration on how to create a speedpicking run from our 101 speedpicking lesson patterns. The solo also yields some horizontal phrasing à la Steve Vai as well a some Eric Johnson style arpeggios. In this lesson you will find some difficult techniques as well some intermediate licks.

The sliding technique which can be used in lot of creative ways, here is one of them. We use the C Minor Pentatonic scale and we move through all 5 shapes.

Have you ever struggled with memorising complicated scales?

In this lesson we are going to work on connecting different scale positions, so you can learn how to use it efficiently while improvising.

Let's cover some important techniques like slides, legato, bending and the most important is right hand muting. I will also use this solo as an example of constructing solo moving horizontally over the fretboard and not up and down in boxes.

A workout played only on the B string covering all 7 boxes. This is a good way to understand the relation between semi and whole notes in any major scale.
