Exercises & Theory
Difficulty 2 of 10 Little Finger Work-outBy Dejan Farkas An exercise I developed recently for the left hand, a drill for the little finger, pinky (hammer-on till the dawn). It can be practiced on all levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced) depending on the speed. 
Difficulty 4 of 10 Pentatonic Sliding LessonAre you sometimes stuck in those pentatonic boxes? Don`t know how to connect them and move up and down the neck? Why not try legato slides? The most important thing is to carefully execute the slides. Practise them very slowly until you become very comfortable playing them fast. 
Difficulty 7 of 10 Sweeping with TappingI chose one shape for major and one for minor arpeggios. The chords are typical 7, m6 and maj7, with few added notes with tapping hand. There's a sliding with tap finger as well... 
Difficulty 3 of 10 Pull-offs LessonKnowing that the pinky is weakest of all fingers - we'll be using it a lot here, to give it more strength and power. I tried to combine every possible fingering combination so I hope you'll achieve a lot from this lesson. 
Difficulty 4 of 10 Touch Technique Sus2 ArpeggiosThis lesson is inspired by Joe Satriani's tapping (listen to "Day at the Beach", "Unforgotten part 1" or "Midnight"), but also by Loureiro's and Tafolla's. You can use this exercice in lot of situations, for instance in some sweet introductions or in fast parts of a song. 
Difficulty 6 of 10 Staccato LessonThis kind of dampening technique is standard for bass players, but for some reason not quite as known among guitarists.After I play the note I slightly remove both finger and the string off the fretboard while still gently touching the string with the finger. That helps to stop ringing of open string. 
Difficulty 7 of 10 Progressive Riffing LessonProgresive concepts - inspired by bands like Dream Theater, Tool, Spastik Inc etc. Odd-time signature alternate picking in used in the last bars. 
Difficulty 7 of 10 A Harmonic Minor Muted MelodiesIn this "exotic" sounding lesson we will explore the harmonic minor scale, by using palm muteing, bends, trills, arpegios, harmony notes. Enjoy! 
Difficulty 3 of 10 Touch Technique BasicsA simple exercise using touch technique, consisting of a bass line played with left hand and a simple melody played by the right hand tapping directly on the frets. Use a clean sound with sustain and compression. 
Difficulty 5 of 10 Funky LessonThis solo has been composed using G# pentatonic minor and A pentatonic major scales. IThis style of playing is commonly used in jazz. This tune is a good example to show you that you can play using many scales anywhere you want.
