In a dark corner in The Temple of Guitar Bushido, I found something. It had been hidden for a while and had gathered some dust and cobwebs. However, it contained valuable learning material for it was Pentatonic Shred Licks, which I shall now call Penta-Shred !

What am I talking about ? Well, I want this thread to be a study of any licks that are pentatonic based.. think of it as the same kind of thing as the Legato Nemesis thread here

I was inspired by last night's live video chat to record a couple of licks that I was showing a member, Sean, to help him tame his picking when using Pentatonic licks. So, here they are !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RD5rsG1TDA...eature=youtu.be

I want you, the disciples, to record your own versions of this lick.. any speed ! Now, unleash the Penta-Shred !! ph34r.gif

I was watching inception last night. Can't we go into that sleep mode, practice for years and then wake up. It will merely be minutes in real life and you are a maestro. biggrin.gif Its very difficult to do 2nps as I never sort of practiced this. Only 3nps. I have encountered this lick before but can't do fast. Will post my take soon. smile.gif

Yeah, it looks good... I don't go to the cinema these days so I have to wait until they're on dvd.. and at a lowered price ! wink.gif

When I can afford it, I'll go on a small spree and get some dvds I've wanted to watch for a long time !

Disciples of the Axe... I have another present for you !

Here is a cheeky little lick that uses a small economy picking motion. It's a 4 note sequence that only requires 2 fingers to play it. The first note is picked with a down stroke, the next 2 are played with a continuous upstroke and the last note is sounded by a pull off. Then repeat. Easy !

So, you are only picking 3 of the notes.. the last is just a pull off.

You can move it all over the neck.. you can apply any pentatonic box patterns to it (and non pentatonic if you want to take it further..)

Enjoy !

Let me hear some of your takes biggrin.gif

Glad to see Penta-shred back in action. This is a tricky one with the economy pick motion. I'm starting to get it, I think. I'll post a video soon!

Excellent-ay ! I would have made a short video of the lick but I didn't get the time.. but I think you guys understand how it's meant to be played with all the description, tab, Gpro, mp3 etc.... laugh.gif
