I'm going to DOUBLE PICK every note in this lick except for the very last note which you can single strike and use vibrato. This lick works well as a solo lick but also helps you to work on your string traverse while multi picking. Many folks find that traversing while multi picking can be a bit tricky, so this lick should help out on that front. It's not crazy complex. Just a simple shape. Also, I'm playing the first demo "at speed" to show you what it will sound like once you play it quite a bit. I DO NOT expect you to play it this fast for your take. You can play at any speed that is comfortable. Have a look at the video NOTE: Keep it smooth and under control. If you find you are losing control, slow down just a pinch. 48.gp5 ( 1.92K ) Number of downloads: 15178 BACKGROUND / COMMENTS: I'm backing off the difficulty here on purpose to try to get back to the "Quick" idea behind "Quick Licks".

This one requires hand synch, a solid palm mute, killer precision and very advanced picking. You have no problem at all with any of it. It's impressive. I love seeing you tear through these. Keep going! As for this one, you just.. LEVELED UP!!!!!! Todd QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Sep 10 2019, 07:19 PM) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It works just fine played slow but it also works played fast. It's got a bit of an Yngwie vibe to it as that's who I sorta borrowed it from! Descending pedal point licks get tricky when you do them across strings. You managed it quite well. Didn't get tripped up on the picking or anything. Double picking on this makes it even more of a challenge. Great to see you are putting all of your learning together to attack new licks! You've got this one. You just... LEVELED UP!!!

You've gotta double pick it, keep a good mute, keep solid timing, etc. It's a pedal point lick so you gotta keep the pedal tone and not let it drift. You do a great job keeping it all together. Also, it ends on a big vibarato. You use single finger vibrato and it's much improved from what you started when a while back when you first started doing vibrato. It's not tepid or timid or shallow, it's nice and deep. Score! You just.. LEVELED UP!!! Onward! Todd QUOTE (Adam @ Jan 2 2021, 06:36 PM) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
