spdalton7th May 2007Woot! A lesson that is definatly in my skill range. Can't wait to start learning it.
Sounds great too 
Andrew Cockburn7th May 2007Wow, a lesson that teaches you lots and sounds unbearably cool - thanks Pavel, adding this to my practice list right away!
Again a fine addition to GMC
I love that sound!
Scott Gentzen7th May 2007Exactly the kind of things I've been working on. Fantastic. Thanks
Pavel7th May 2007This lesson may sound simple but when you try to speed it up than you'll realize the problem of it!! Got some nasty string skipping stuff going on!
Thanks for comments!
Gustavo7th May 2007awsome
i think its very difficult
The Uncreator7th May 2007Great Lesson as always, i havent practiced String Skipping since youre last lesson it, so this a good refresher course!
Great lesson, i'm gunna start on this one right after i come back from college.
thanks Pavel.
This reminds me a bit of the John Petrucci Rock Discipline DVD's first exercises with the hand stretches, well, great lesson as usual, keep it up!
GuitarDude7th May 2007just wow!
me2138th May 2007hi pavel great lesson!
erm these may be a stupid questions but here we go,
What scale is this in?, and
How did you make it up?
THANKS
Pavel8th May 2007Thanks all! I am really glad you liked it!
@me213: This lesson is a result of NOT THINKING IN SCALES - i came up with this simply playing string skips to make a nice melody out of it! It starts in B-Major!
Dude keep the lessons coming. You've taught me in weeks what it would have taken me years to learn on my own.
Smikey20068th May 2007haha yay i love these lessions there helpin my playen a bundle keep er comin master pavel
FaithfullyForgotten8th May 2007The name's Pavel,....Mr. Pavel......dude im really liking the sound here man.oh and by the way yes i can live with having a 19 yr old dad who plays guitar all day and lives with his parents,it might be a little wierd because im 21 but well get past that!!!!!!!ha ha ha ha ha
Engellos8th May 2007Awesome!
andrei.sz8th May 2007great lesson, and what's better is that this pice is real music.
cheers Pavel.
erik8th May 2007Great stuff, Pavel!
Andrew Cockburn9th May 2007The thing I like best about this lesson is its impossible to play unless your posture and left hand positioning is spot on 
Wow, cool lesson and definately ill learn it, its awesome!
shredmandan9th May 2007Pavel your a very talented dude.Trying to string skip like that and keep it sounding clean and smooth takes alot of work.Thanks for another awesome lesson and i hope you put out another one real soon.
Aaron11th May 2007pavel!!! i love the way you play that guitar!!! by the way: What model is your guitar?
Pavel11th May 2007Thanks guys!!
It's Ibanez JEM7WH
Aaron12th May 2007thnx!!!!!!!!!
Aaron12th May 2007i cant get the hammer-on pull-off section to sound jut right. 
DeepRoots14th May 2007definatley being incorparated into my warm-up.
Thanks Pavel!
fantastic pavel yet another great lesson keep em coming
Pavel17th May 2007Thanks - you're welcome guys!
I'll try to make more of this kind of lessons!
Asphyxia Feeling21st May 2007I'm having the same problem Aaron is having.. when i do the hammer on pull off section according to the tab it sounds like i'm a note short of how it should sound... is there an extra pull off in there somewhere?
Pavel21st May 2007The tab is 100% correct! It means you play something wrong! The hammer-on/pull-off section has different note lenghts so watch out for that!
stratman3321st May 2007frikken sweet lesson.when i get my ibanez, this will sound great.
Aaron23rd May 2007thanx for the help pavel i kinda got it rite now
holy, way harder than first glance...
Edited for language by rokchik
ok i barely know what linear runs are but i'm gonna do this lesson solely for the hand control
Pavel25th May 2007Linear runs are runs following the scale note by note.
kahall26th May 2007You know I was setting here taking a break letting my hand spaz out.... and I was reading Pavels intro at the top of the lesson, kind of in a daze but still reading it and started laughing at the line that goes.
"When you master this lesson you'll feel huge advance in your control of string switching but most important thing is to play it CLEAN. Ready? GO!!
Ready? GO!!! cracks me up everytime. If you have seen the movie Team America - World Police you will know what I mean. If you have not seen it, it is good for a chuckle or 50...Ready? GO!!!
kevin-riff-after-riff26th May 2007sounds very similar to that jerry c string skipping song
JOhn30th May 2007just a quick question when your playing the fast descending part each time you move down to the next three notes the you play it with a down pick so its like economic picking?
JOhn30th May 2007just a quick question when your playing the fast descending part each time you move down to the next three notes the you play it with a down pick so its like economic picking?
Pavel30th May 2007No - i play it 100% alternate picking!
hi Pavel...grr...i love this lesson...but i don't get it...when i play hammer on i can't hear a sound..i just don't hear it...what is wrong?do i tap it to "lazy" or what?i just don't get it... and pull offs...:S:S i suck:( but anyway...great lesson Pavel..i hope i'll learn it as soon as possible:D and then we rock! great work Pavel, as always;)
Pavel30th May 2007If you started to play legato recently than you have nothing to worry about. You have to develop strenght and controlled hit on strings! Just make legato your regular practice technique and you'll get it soon!
as always pavel great lesson and a goal to aim for
signularis6th June 2007darn i suck lol
SLASH917th June 2007I know it looks easy but gets hard later on
The Spartan8th June 2007Great lesson Pavel...this will definitely make me better at string skipping although I'm good at it but why not make it even better
signularis8th June 2007what is the best way to prawctise your pink
Pavel8th June 2007Play excercises that involve pinky!
mattacuk12th June 2007Pavel,
i thought i had this lesson till i got to the 12-19 fret stretch - its killing me! ive been trying all day but i just cant seem to stretch that last fret without my finger comeing off the 12 fret!
misterj15th June 2007your killing me, dude. this is so hard.
Ibanex18th June 2007You should have called it "hands control lesson", this exercice is hard for both hands (string-skipping).
Pavel18th June 2007Well - one "s" doesn't change a lot, right? It's a bout the lesson quality - not the name 
fkalich20th June 2007Great job. Just about right, not too hard, not too easy, really nice sounding. Reminds me of the G&R tune.
Wyvernx3rd July 2007After I'm through with this one, I'm pretty sure my fingers are going to much longer! Nice lesson though sounds really good.
jammer917th July 2007Sounds like GNR's sweet child o'mine
ibanezkiller7th July 2007NICE SOUNd
I love practicing this! What a sweet lesson... I LOVE GMC!
awesome sound!! Thanks
Farbror Kudde29th October 2007this sounds so cool!!
wow this is awesome! ive got it at 130 bpm i need 10 more grrr
Basic Assumption7th November 2007@jammer91 that's right! 've been thinking of that song, trying t olearn the lesson: thanks, Pavel. Now I play Sweet Child MUCH cleaner. and my pinky is much closer to the right posture now!
Jenkinson15th December 2007Just finished this learning and practicing this lesson. I feel much more in control now. Thanks Pavel!
Pavel15th December 2007Good job m8! That lesson is tricky so if you got it all clean you sure gained a lot
Jorbazz22nd December 2007Hurray! The perfect lesson for me
Tiltil28th December 2007Can't wait to get this down... one of the best melodies I've ever heard, really!
Your lessons are awesome Pavel, keep it up!
Yes, a nice melody. I've learned nearly a few by now. whilst I thought this at first to be one of the easiest.. It is actually proving one of the trickiest for me so far! It's a great lesson and incentive to play.. Thank you.
Carlos Carrillo21st February 2008Hey Pavel!!!
Great lesson...Very creative...
Thanks
Sami23rd February 2008This has a nice paul gilbert feel to it:D
JamesT27th July 2008Nice lesson. This is harder than it sounds. Melodic. Musical. Excellent.
Playing linear runs using scales may become boring - so let's change the atmoshpere and move onto a bigger challenge! You'll be challenged by string skipping over 1, 2 and 3 strings, stretching and linear runs at the same time! You will also feel huge advance in your control of string switching but most important thing is to play it CLEAN. Ready? GO!!
