I started to play it twice in order to keep in sync with the beeps when i began practicing to a metronome but before that i didn't. I guess it doesn't matter so much either way but i got curious how others did it... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It forces you to "think outside the box", or think outside of one position. ex e--------------------------5-8-10-8--------------------------------------- B---------------------5-8------------10-8--------------------------------- G----------------5-7-----------------------9-7--------------------------- D-----------5-7---------------------------------10-7---------------------- A------5-7---------------------------------------------10-7--------------- E-5-8---------------------------------------------------------10-8--------- You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's very easy to get stuck in the box, especially if you (like me) up until just recently only knew about one . You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Picking that last note twice gives your mind the time to focus on going back (down) on the scale. I don't think it really matters, since when you're improvising you're doing what you want anyway. Still though, it woud be a good exercise to do it without that second stroke. While you're at it, try stressing other notes (3rd, 5th etc.) so you can remember the feel of them, giving your improvisations more flavour... (oh btw... stressing other notes than root is what I do to get to know the names of the notes on the fretboard) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
