I usually stick to using 3nps scales, but i find that using an interesting pattern and dynamics stops it from sounding like a straight up scale. Rusty Cooley has ALOT of these patterns if you've seen the chops from hell instructional videos- and Paul gilbert is definatly one to watch for dynamics. A good way of spicing things up is to skip around just a little - using 3nps, play 6 notes on 2 strings ascending, then start again on the 2nd stringstring, play another 6 notes, start again on the 2nd string, another 6 notes - means you get longer runs with a little more variety: Track 1 E||-----------------------------------------------------------------12-14-16-| B||-----------------------------------------------12-14-16-12-14-16----------| G||-----------------------------11-13-14-11-13-14----------------------------| D||-----------11-13-14-11-13-14----------------------------------------------| A||--11-12-14----------------------------------------------------------------| E||--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 3 W --16b~----------------|| ----------------------|| ----------------------|| ----------------------|| ----------------------|| ----------------------|| This post has been edited by Andrew Cockburn: Sep 10 2007, 02:52 AM -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
