Nick32529th November 2007very nice
shellshock191129th November 2007This lesson rules, some awesome Marty Friedman licks in there too.
Ivan Milenkovic29th November 2007Hey thank you all. I didn`t expect such a nice feedback. Thank you and have fun with this one. It is fairly easy-to-incorporate in yur own style lesson, and easy to play also.
My first intention is to help the beginners with connecting positions, but runs can be cool for people who does know how to shift-slide, but can give them some new patterns and directions. Hope this help
Hisham Al-Sanea30th November 2007nice sliding ivan
Andrew Cockburn30th November 2007Just cool - sounds great and great technique to learn!

speezy2nd December 2007Ivan -
Having great fun learning how to run down this scale. Going back up however, I just can't wrap my mind or fingers around it. Is there a way to slow down the video even more?
Ivan Milenkovic2nd December 2007@Nick325
THis is a Peavey Generation EXp with ACM. You can find a review on Gear Reviews board. Cheers
@spezzy
I am glad you are having fun with this lesson! I would have to record all over again in slow motion and i`m afraid that is not possible. BUT you can easily see what i play if you download the GuitarPro file. In it you can see all the notes clearly how tehy are played. GP file is downloadable from an icon to the right from the video window in the browser. Also there is a complete tab there with all the notes.
Let me know if you have any troubles with this further man, and keep on rockin`
Muris Varajic3rd December 2007Cool slides Ivan,well done!!
Ivan Milenkovic3rd December 2007Thanks man! I`m glad you like it!
speezy3rd December 2007Ivan -
Ok. I see now that GP is the way to go. Can slow it down or speed it up as fast as I need to. Thanks for the quick response.
Both me and my son (I'm 45, he is 16) are having a blast with all the lessons on GMC and yours is the first that I'm actually trying to "master".
Seriously..the GMC web site has provided a chance for me to bond with my son..we both check out the lick of the day, jam together with the backing tracks..totally cool.

Ivan Milenkovic3rd December 2007Thats tottaly awesome man, I am glad you like my lesson and the GMC site. It really rocks here and we are one big family. Say hello to your son, and if you have anything to ask or having trouble of any kind with guitar playing I (and the others I`m sure) will be glad to help. Keep on rockin`!!
Kizaze446th December 2007Ivan,
Love the lesson! I'm struggling a bit with the parts that require the middle finger to play the same fret as the ring finger, but one string up. I've never used this technique in my improvs for some reason, but would like to incorporate it. Any tips on playing more cleanly with that kind of fingering?
Kizaze
Ivan Milenkovic6th December 2007Well, thats the best part of this slides I guess (the middle finger going down and them climbin up). Just practise it slowly and correctly - thats the whole secret. Don`t go fast if you can`t play it correctly. Trust me it will come in time. Me too had problems with those fingering, but with consistens practise no more. If you first encountered with this kind of fingering, i guess you must practise it for another month or two to really become comfortable with it. Hope this helps man. Keep rockin!
PS i saw now your last sentence... if you wanna play clean, you must mute all the strings that are not played at that time. For example when you go to another note, the previous note must be muted in the exact moment when you hit the next etc. Through slow practise you achieve this.
Kizaze447th December 2007That's always the answer, isn't it? Practice! I will, and thanks for those cool riffs!
Ivan Milenkovic7th December 2007You are welcome man.
Toni Suominen8th December 2007Thanks Ivan, Im definitely going to learn this one!
speezy10th December 2007Ivan -
Finally got this one down. Going to try your "Funky Riff" next.
Spencer

Ivan Milenkovic10th December 2007Thats great man, try the funky riff, you will learn some new moves for sure. My other funk lesson is soon to be live too
Crazyfret22nd December 2007Another great lesson Ivan. This give me an alternative to my assending / decending pentatonic scales in thirds.
Got the first run down now at a slower speed now for the 2nd. I'm quite suprised how reasonably quickly I've picked it up. It looked tough at first!
SamJ27th December 2007Thanks Ivan, this lessons great! Exactly what I was looking for.
Ivan Milenkovic27th December 2007No problem man, I'm glad you like it
Carlos Carrillo6th March 2008hello ivan!!!!!!!!

Nazgul19th August 2008That's extremely helpful. We didn't have legato lessons for the pentatonic scale yet.
Ivan Milenkovic21st August 2008I'm glad you find it useful man, if you have any question regarding legato slide, feel free to ask mate. CHeers 
Suibemah29th December 2011Anyone have an idea why some lesson video's are not filling my Lesson Step Window? this is very difficult to see and going to full screen there are not enough pixels to make it legible. Someone have any ideas or feedback help for me? It seems to not be consistent and effects all the teachers I am using... THANKS FOR HELP Oh also I cannot move the Quality of my downloads from Medium to High the button does not slide....?????
Ivan Milenkovic30th December 2011In the time this lesson was made, HD was something new (similar like 3D is now), and server bandwidth, ISP internet speed and lesson production equipment used wasn't HD ready. This was the biggest resolution possible. Unfortunately there is no bigger resolution for this lesson, because of this.
