Sorry for the delay, my fellow travellers of the Way. I had some business to attend to outside of The Temple so our Bushido Business was delayed ! We shall be going to 52, so after this there shall be one final Task for you...

Task 51: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Melodic-Major-Soloing/

I just want you to learn part 9, which is the fast lick that occurs from 0:45-0:47

This is an absolutely storming lick from Fayeed and it only uses 2 fingers !!

This'll be a nice one to add to your trick bag of licks and you could apply it to minor shapes too...

Deadline is next Tuesday 29th January or you'll find that you've signed up to Ballroom Dancing classes and you start immediately.... and if you think that's funny, try learning the Waltz

I think its impressive what his picking hand is doing too. This hybrid technique intrigues me more and more. I feel like I'm playing guitar for the first time when trying it though.

Do you think hybrid picking is the best way to get this lick up to speed?

I must avoid these dancing lessons or my lady may get some funny ideas in her head.

I would personally play it with a combination of down strokes and slides/hammer ons



Exactly.....

Hey Ben,
I made a quick video to demo this lick with just video audio.

This is my top speed. Not sure about the tempo here but its seem much slower than Fayeed's.

My own analysis is that I sometimes I slur the G and D notes that barre on the 12th fret. Thanks for checking!

That sounds nice man ! Yeah I guess that's where hybrid does come in handy for plucking out that note.. I wonder whether slightly rolling the finger would help, like we do when sweep picking different strings on the same fret with the same finger...

Either way, sounding good DG !

Donut, of course
