Read Jer's intro post where he said he learned his triads like four or five times but "don't use it=lose it".....Well said dude!! Now...I am having you learn your diatonic and pentatonic boxes and your triads. They are really exciting to just run up and down and all, but the real deep dark purpose of these things is to create....MUSIC!! So in this thread each of us, myself included, is going to be responsible for posting two licks per month using those cool boxes and triads I gave you. Here is the requirements for the licks though. 1) One lick has to contain nothing but the diatonic boxes and triad that I assign for the month. 2) One lick has to contain nothing but the pentatonic boxes and triad that I assign for the month. 3) Both licks have to contain AT LEAST one group of either 8th or 16th notes, one group 8th or 16th triplets, and 1 quintuplet (five note groupng, Opeth.db's favorite grouping!! ). 4) You have to use a triad over at least 3 strings once in the lick. 5) The lick can be no more than 2 measures long. 6)You have to post an mp3 of nothing but you, your axe and the KAZ-BOX playing the lick. AND THE BEST PART.... 7) You have to figure out how to tab it using Guitar Pro and post it in this thread along with the mp3!!! I'll help you with this if needs be. I don't care what the tempo is, as fast or as slow as you would like. I just want you to get used to using different groupings in your phrases and I want you to get used to counting and using the Kaz-Box. Techniques such as AP, sweeps, taps etc,. are all up to you. I'll post the first one this week so you can see exactly what I want. I'll post separately a little later and let you know the triads and the boxes I want you to use. Use it or lose it guys!!

Diatonic boxes to use: A Major Ionian, Dorian and Phrygian Boxes Pentatonic boxes to use: C# and B minor pentatonic positions 1, 2 & 5 Triads to use: Any of the Major or Minor triads found in A Major, USE THE CHART!! I'll upload mine tomorrow or tuesday. Remeber, I don't care about speed, I just want to hear you play different note groupings in time with the Kaz-Box and get you to start using these tools to create licks!!

Mar 2 2009, 02:44 AM	Learning Tone Seeker Posts: 2.054 Joined: 2-September 08	Alright guys here is what I am looking for. I posted an mp3 of me playing my lick. Here is what I am doing...Remember we are in A Major. I am just ascending the Ionian box starting with 8th note triplets for 2 beats, followed by 2 beats of 16ths and 2 beats of quintuplets. I use slides on the High E string to change positions and set myself up for the last two beats which is a descending D major triad phrased in 16th notes. I used a drumbeat to keep time. Now if I were to play this lick at around 130-145 bpm I would have a pretty cool sounding shred lick. The possibilities for this stuff are endless. Make sure you read the first post again because I changed the parameters to make it easier for ourselves. Alright who's next? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Im gonna need some time to process everything, but ill get one up hopefully sometime this week Thanks John. No need to rush, you have all month to do two licks. The best way to learn these things and see why they are cool to know is to use them. I am making you tab them out because I want you to be aware of what note groupings you are using. When you are aware of them then after awhile the just come out automatically in your playing. Let me know if you need any help with tabbing it out. It doesn't need to be complicated as you saw from my lick. If you take my lick an really bump up the tempo it sounds really shreddy. Just do simple licks to start. I just want you to start visualizing where the triads are in relation to the scales. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Just make it simple to start, like mine. All triplets, the 16ths etc. Don't worry, if you get stuck I'm here to help. Should be easy. You have four weeks to do 2 licks.

If my top speed were 80 I would back it down to 40 or 30. Playing that slow really ingrains it in your muscle memory and I think that you will find it harder to play it this slow then you think. Try it a few times and see what you think Jer. Dan...Chime in here....What has been your experience with slowing down the tempo down to like 40 or so? Do you find it beneficial or a waste of time? I personally find it beneficial but I think everybody will have different opinions on this. Thanks again Jer. Are you just using the mic from your camera? Sounds good.

QUOTE What has been your experience with slowing down the tempo down to like 40 or so? Do you find it beneficial or a waste of time? I don't doubt that playing at a certainly lower speed is useful.

Hopefully you can see how useful the triads can be. Good job. Were you meaning to tab those triads as triplets or as 16ths? If you meant to tab them as triplets let me know and I can help you with that. Too bad you don't like quintuplets...I'm working on a pretty cool tapping etude that I was hoping you guys would want to tackle. Don't know if you like tapping or not but it is pretty fun to play.

Mar 9 2009, 03:16 PM	Experienced Guitar Lord Posts: 1.671 Joined: 26-May 08 From: Lodz, Poland	Okay after wasting two hours of my life I give up I came up with a crappy sounding "lick" ( as I said bit earlier I don't certainly know what a lick is ). Than I tried to think of what notes I am playing, and had to write it in guitar pro. It resulted in a tragedy, and besides I had no quintuplets in it neither... I just don't know exactly what am I playing at the beginning, so I can't tab it properly --> accommodate it to playing with the metronome. Maybe something will come to my mind although I am unsure of that... I recorded it without the metronome, and uploaded with the faulty guitar pro file also... Well I haven't uploaded the guitar pro file as don't know why I have such message when I try: "Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload this type of file". pathetic.mp3 ( 176.52K ) Number of downloads: 268 Here is the screen save of the guitar pro file...
