We use an "Inversion" pattern to play the scale in groups of four notes. It's a real finger twister and doesn't conform to any natural scale but it works great in solos!! Once you get used to this pattern, it can be applied to any mode/scale that you like. Since the shape is the same on all three strings, your fingers don't have to make any "shift" which helps reduce the difficulty just a pinch since it's plenty tricky all by itself. It's in the key of E right now using the root note on the 14th fret (E). You can move it to any key you like just by moving the pattern to any place on the neck you want. The place you land, in this lick, should be whatever key you want to solo in. If you already know about scale inversions, this one should be no problem at all. DEALERS CHOICE ON PICKING!!!! Pick it any way that works and you don't have to pick each note if you would rather hammer on instead. 63.gp5 ( 1.63K ) Number of downloads: 4689 BACKGROUND / COMMENTS: This one mixes a blues scale with a dorian scale and creates something new.

The delay/reverb is maybe a tad much for a demonstration vid, but I could still hear you playing so it worked out. Good technique all the way through on one. Try to use it in a solo asap!!! You clearly have this one well in hand and you just.. LEVELED UP!!!

Just try to keep it to a minimum as you usually do. Well played!!

It's quick licks, but I know you are a capable player. You can play way better than this, no doubt iin my mind. This is an "Inversion" style lick which is a very important bit. Don't worry so much about playing it briskly, just like bootcamp, no points for speed. Just points for playing the lick as close as possible to the original vid. Give this one another quick go!!

The first vid was just a pinch less than the precision I know you can play with is all. I get the sense that you are a bit impatient with yourself sometimes and want to jump ahead just a pinchand sort of "get on with it" instead of digging in and making a given lick, rec, etc. "Yours". This is a good example of playing the bit in a variety of ways, all of which work well. Nice!!You just.. LEVELED UP!!

I thought your first take was the final take, then you ramped up the speed and didn't miss a note and then played it a few more times or good measure. This is a tricky inversion lick thats loosely based on a blues scale with with other notes thrown in. It's one of my fave licks. I use it in solos all the time. You sail through it at top speed without losing a note and without losing synch or your mute! You have this one well in hand. You just... LEVELED UP!!!

This one combines my favorite inversion lick with another blues type lick that I also just love. It works in just about any solo. Those notes are pricless. They always work, just about anywhere. Just make sure the root note on the low E is the same as the "key" of a given song and bam. You can noodle around in those notes as long as you like and still be playing in key. The faster the better as the B string notes are not technically part the minor or blues scale. Its' combining scales really to result in a handy bit that's simple to play since it's the same on every string. You navigate it well and your moving at a good pace! Nicely done on the mute as well! You've got this sorted! You just.. LEVELED UP!! Todd QUOTE (Adam @ Feb 16 2021, 07:28 PM) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
