Hey guyz,
Unfortunately my mother insisted on taking me to our summer house with her. So I had to get my guitar and Boss JS8 e-band and bring them with me to our summerouse. Im gonna stay here for a couple weeks. I have a limited Internet here so can't view GMC videos and practise on them. So here my questions are on A minor pentatonic scale ( Ivan, sorry I cant watch your nice lesson on pentatonic scale at the moment)
1. I began pentatonic practising just like this: All 5 pentatonic + their octave shapes down and up on the neck alt. picking with 3 notes per beat (Im at 116 bpm at the moment) and 4notes per beat (90 bpm at the moment). I dont know my target on metronom so how long should I practise this down and up all alt picking?
2. After that I'll jump to string skipping same patterns, alt. picking, with 3 notes per beat and 4 notes per beat again all same as above, what should my target bpm be?
3. I will do all above with tremolo picking again. 2,3,4 times picking do you think this is useful?
4. Finally I'll do same down and up with legato playing. Do you have any suggestions for legatos? Can I do 2,3,4 H.O and P.O all together on above patterns down and up again? Is it useful? What else I can do with legato technique?
With all these practising down and up alt picking,string skipping, and legato; I want to do it also horizontally on every each 2 strings. But still it will sound like a practise session, not like making licks. So my final question is how can I make licks, for example how can I practise bending and vibrato on this scale practising? Do you have any extra suggetions for me? one last question...How long should I practise A minor pentatonic scale? Should I jump to C,E,G...etc..pentatonic minors or I should totally jump to blues scale or minor scale or something else..what would you guys say?
