In this Quick Licks, we start with an open string and then play an arpeggio. You can pick this any way you like. Whatever works for your picking hand. This one does have a big stretch for the pinky, but it should be a familiar shape by now as we have used it in the past. We are leveraging that shape here. If the shape is new to new, it should be simple enough as it's only about half of a full arpeggio.

Awesome!!! No only do you play the lick, you do a KEN thing and mod it with something extra cool! This is an open string lick with an arpeggio. I've not seen these types of licks on the interwebs. If they are there I just have not seen them. If you have seen them please share a vid! I thought that adding an open string would give a free note and make the arp sound like more notes than it actually is. But, if one does not mute well, it becomes a noise machine. You mute quite well and your pinky articulation is very good!!! Also doing the lick at speed is impressive. Your skills have clearly improved over time!! You just.. LEVELED UP!!!!!!
