Very nice Jim! I usually try to focus most strength on the key moments of the lick - like the 1st note, half of the first arpeggio, 11-12-11 slide and then the tapped notes. All other notes I usually try to use a s a relax time


Tip. Watch out for the tapped notes. Those are 16th triplets. They should be faster than the 16th notes in the arpegio. Try to fit the timming so You'll have each tap on the 8th note acccent

Wow! after breaking down this lick I find it is much easier to play than it sounds , except for the life threatening speed of course.
I feel the tendency to want to finish it off with a blues ending lick.

AK - go for it! You can record extended version! Yes it's not that hard, it only looks...maybe it looks...hard


Jim When You start to play the arpeggio remember those are 16th notes....so when You go to the tapping it has to be faster thatn the beginning notes because in the tapping parts thoe are triplets in the visiual mode it looks like:

1+ ++ 2+++ 3+++ 4+++

1++1++ 2++2++ 3++3++ 4++ 4++ = 8 equl accents = 8th notes (twice 1, twice 2 , twice 3, twice 4)

so the tp finger goes for 1 + 1& + 2 + 2& +3 + 3& +4 + 4&

I'm afraid the more I would try to expplain the more complicated this will sound...while it's very simple

So when You try to match the tapping finger tempo to 8th notes You will get those triplets.

Try to launch guitar pro file and change the tempo
You will see the difference between the tempo of 16th notes arpeggio and 16th triplets tapping part

As promised, here is my version of yourlick. I played one slow (opps, about that ending ). Second one is at my full speed. I realize after uploading that I played a different note in the sweeping sequence. I probably should have done more takes, but I hope you'll get the idea. I welcome any advice.

Awesome man I only think it could be more defined, but otherwise it's shaping up!

Thanks guys. It's a fun lick to play. I agree it needs to be played cleaner. A bit more practice and I think I'll get it there.
