We are going to "Skip" picking most of the strings and use legato/hammer ons instead. Let's strike the Open E and the fretted D string. 98.gp5 ( 2.05K ) Number of downloads: 17506 You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The tricky bit about this one is that you are supposed to not pick the A string on the ascent just hammer it. don't pick the A on the Ascent and don't pick the fretted A or fretted E on the descent. Just hammer on those notes. The idea is to skip the pick strike on the fretted E and fretted A as you go up, and then skip the pick strike on the fretted A and fretted E as you go back down and Strike again on the open E to start the loop again. That's why it's called pick skipping as you are skipping the picking on a few notes and just hammering them. It's not easy. The brain wants to sweep it. That's what makes this lick tricky. It's trying to train your hand to use hammer ons to gain speed when instead of picking/sweeping each note. Notice how the first part is a bit laggy and then the second part when you move up is faster? I want you to try to make them both evenly played. As if there were a metronome. The downward part is the same speed in both positions. This is one of the hardest quick licks ever as it's taken from a bootcamp lick that is very similar. I'm confident you can play this one, just slow it down a pinch and fight the urge to sweep. I rarely ask for a do over but you are one of our better players and I think you can do this! Once More!

The pick skip is something akin to the string skip except you hammer on instead of skipping the string entirely. It's awkward for the hand as it's not something the hand wants to naturally do. It usually wants to skip the entire string, or not. Takes very good control of the pick hand. This lick can be expanded to as many strings as you like. Well done here. This is a complex lick that we are going to work on for a few Quick Licks. You just... LEVELED UP!!!! *You remain the TOP DAWG!!!!!* Todd QUOTE (onetabmat @ Oct 15 2019, 02:33 PM) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

This is by far the trickiest of all the Quick Licks yet IMHO as it involves a bizarre picking technique that is in no way comfy. I'm impressed that you are able to play this. I must admit, when I first wrote this riff, years ago, I couldn't play it. I could hear it in my head, I just couldn't play it. It took me days and days to play it at all. So hats off to you for doing it in a single sitting. The good news is that this way of picking/playing a riff is soo bizarre that you won't find other people dong it. It's just tooo flat out strange. Now that you have the idea, try it with different shapes on your left hand! It's fun for all kinds of things!!! You just... LEVELED UP!!!!! @@ You Remain our TOP DAWWWGGGG!!!!
