THERE IS NO SPEED REQUIREMENT IN QUICK LICKS. PLAY THIS AT ANY SPEED YOU LIKE. This lick features "SYMMETRICAL" shapes, e.g. it's the same exact shape on each string to allow you to focus on traversing up the strings and to focus on your picking. You may use any picking method you like. This is just 3 notes on 3 strings. Same 3 notes each string. It looks simple enough. When you play it, you may notice that it feels like trying to swim upstream. Playing this note pattern is quite a challenge to do with precision even though it's a very simple shape. It's a great way to work on your picking. If you are not happy with your picking, this is the drill for you. *NOTE: Keep it smooth and under control. If you find you are losing control, slow down just a pinch. If you want to add one take where you are pushing the edge for speed and get a bit wonky, that's perfectly fine. BACKGROUND / COMMENTS: Keep a solid palm mute and don't let your picking get loose! Hit me up with any questions! Todd This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Dec 15 2018, 08:00 PM |

Hello Todd, I'm back slowly getting things done, as you know, it's been hard and will continue to be but we have to move on.

NICE!! About 20 seconds in you really hit a good stride. This lick is flat out hard when it starts the descending bit. It seems like it should be easy. It's just not. The finger shape is simple. It's the picking that's so freaking tricky. Going down the strings, the picking hand easily starts to get a bit lost as to whether it should be doing upstrokes going down the strings, or down strokes going back down. It's easy to miss a note or few until the hand get's used to it. I'm really impressed that you are able to play this at this speed with this degree of fluidity. I didn't expect this much precision / speed on this lick as it's just hard to play and keep clean. Heck, I have a hard time keeping it clean and had to record it several times to get a good take to use as the intro/outro for the vid. It's fine when done slower, but push the speed a bit and it starts feeling like "rubber baby buggy bumpers" said 5 times fast but for your fingers Well played! You just..
LEVELED UP!!! Todd Hello Todd, I'm back slowly getting things done, as you know, it's been hard and will continue to be but we have to move on.
