HERE IS THE CUSTOM OVERLOUT TH1 TRIODE PATCH FOR TODAY


Let's warm up and get going!


FINGER YOGA!
Let’s do our usual Finger Yoga stretches. Here is a link to the video for references.


Let's expand on our STREEEEETTCH and Alternate Picking work a bit.

Here we go!


PART A - DIFFERENT SHAPES DIFFERENT STRINGS

In our original LESSON 5 we added "Back and Forth" on top of our Alternate Picking. Now that we have been working on the stretch, let's take idea to the next level.

Let's:

  • Play this up and down the neck (Don't play to pain)
  • Double Pick it.
  • Try it on different strings.



PART B - LEGATO STREEEEEEEETTTCCCHHHH


Let's get some practice doing a crazy legato stretch lick to build up some muscle memory for our "Boss Level" lick.

(Let's try to play this all the way down to the first fret if possible)

Play it twice at each position. Only strike once per note group when on the open string. Also, let's try it on some other strings.

Here is a backing to play it with.
