In this Quick Lick, we are going to take an open string lick and play it on two strings. Then we are going to do a bit of fret travel/traverse, and move the lick up the neck! PACE IS KEY! Don't rush or lag this. Keep it steady and evenly paced. Also, lightly palm mute the entire thing to reduce string noise. Since we are using two open strings in this one, it's going to be prone to string noise. So keep a light mute the entire time. Also, this is one of our

STRIKE ONCE HAMMER MANY Type licks. So strike the open string and HAMMER ON THE REST OF THE NOTES
Try to use the PINKY!! It's a great chance to work on your PINKY POWER! If you find you can't play this without picking, then go ahead and pick it, If you can't play it with your pinky, play it any way you can play it. It's quick licks after all so don't torture yourself! Try to get it done "Quickly" smile.gif

Wow. This is just smooth as silk. The entire point to this one is to try to play a stretched out lick with constant changes on open strings without string noise or hiccups. You put on a clinic on how to pull this off. Palm mute is outstanding, tone is great, and your pinky sticks the landing every single time. Very well done. I hope you get to do more of these. Great work.

You just..

LEVELED UP!!!

Great to see you back in the game!!!! I see that you are still wearing a device on your hand. Please don't play to the point of pain as it looks like you are still healing. It's very courageous to jump back! Just be very careful!!

Well played on this! It's all about keeping a steady pace on this one. To wit!\



You just....
