Most of you here know that I don't really play this style (I'm doing it on a 335) but I liked the concept of this lick. Kinda the reverse of what a lot of players do (pulling off) and definitely way out of my wheelhouse. Technique wise it took me a good three days of around a 1/2 hour focus during each practice session. Mostly to get the triplets even and percussive sounding. Todd really has the 'attack' down. It sounds like a nail gun. The attack is everything.
My pinky finger is strong - that was no problem but where I felt it, was in the top of my hand. This is a great, general hand strengthening exercise ... This post has been edited by klasaine: Nov 5 2019, 06:57 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Great to see you in here Ken. Todd isn't so strict in here as in the Bootcamp. Bootcamp has to be very precise whereas Quick Licks is more casual.
You're already an awesome pro guitarist but why don't you work your way through the whole set? I think if you tell us mere mortals that it took you three days of half hour focus we might not be so hard on ourselves for taking so long to get things to an acceptable level and think that maybe we aren't so bad I hope that makes sense -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thank you for the props.
So here are some important things to remember regarding my take ... 1) I've been playing guitar for 40 years and during that 40 years there were periods where I did work on chops and technique a lot. 2) I studied classical guitar in college. My private teacher made me audibly knock each finger on the fingerboard (while muting all the strings with my right hand) and he stressed that the pinky must be able to knock just as loudly as the middle (2nd) finger. 3) I hadn't done any of that in a long time but it all came back to me once I started doing Todd's lick. 4) Yeah, I got it up to tempo but it's not as percussive and machine like as when Todd plays it. 5) My ES-335 actually has a slim neck with a 12" radius (early 60s style) and it's kinda shreddy (as those guitars go), though I do have .011s on it. And the bridge pkup is pretty rock and roll (classic 57). Anyway, it was fun and it definitely made me realize that I need to shed some technique stuff again. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Look at that pinky power!!!! Great finger strength as well. Also solid timing. Yet again didn't even seem to break a sweat. These look easier as you go up in rank. NICE!!!
