Task 20: Hello, disciples of Guitar Bushido ! This time your Task is to record a version of the first lick in this video !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RD5rsG1TDA...eature=youtu.be I was pleasantly surprised at the popularity of recording these short licks so I thought you could use this as your Task this week. There is no specific set tempo but try to aim to improve over your starting speed  The lick itself is a 2 note per string pattern that repeats on 2 adjacent strings. You can apply to any combination of 4 notes in any scale but it's great for whipping round in the pentatonic scale with ! Deadline will be 1 week from now, Friday 15th June |

Hey,
I have to post something tonight cause I won't be able to play the next few days (or not a lot). I've been spending time on this exercise. The best I could do was 125 bpm. At 130 bpm, i loose control. I think I deserve a donut for that job À bientôt http://soundcloud.com/grindguer/2-notes-per-string-picking/s-RJkPG -------------------- �Million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.�

Hi Ben
End of the Week again - I've done a couple of takes one at 120bpm just the 4 note lick and one at 110bpm going down the pentatonic scale. I found with the 4 note lick I had a bit of trouble keeping it going for long periods. 120bpm http://soundcloud.com/zoomify/lick-pentatonic-120bpm 110bpm http://soundcloud.com/zoomify/lick-pentatonic-110bpm Good Stamina Grind! PS Mr Sensei Very cool Micheal Angelo Batio lesson - Crazy stuff! |

PS Mr Sensei Very cool Micheal Angelo Batio lesson - Crazy stuff! Hail Zoom ! I love the fact you put a groovy drum beat in with it as well.. it's like you really care for your listeners and want them to get more out of it  Generally pretty good.. your fingers have a tendency to change position a bit too early, believe it or not, so try and watch out for that if you can. Your picking hand wants to follow your fingers when they move so if you make sure the info you're putting in with left hand is good then the right hand has a better chance of being in the groove with it as well. Thanks for the takes Oh, and cheers ! Nearly killed me to make it but it was worth it I think
