- Alexiaden931st May 2009
I'm practising this now, David. It's really cool, but the notes are often off-beat, but I just need to get used to that
- David Wallimann1st May 2009
Yeah, that's the trick! :-)
Just memorize everything and speed up gradually. - Alexiaden932nd May 2009
Thanks, David. I have one question though ! For the second part of the third video (3), there is an arpeggio-like ascent starting on the on the 5th string (12-14-16). I was wondering whether playing with this finger-order (1-3-4) is very important, and if so, do you have any exercises that could help me stretch my pinky-finger ? Thanks, and you rock !
- David Wallimann3rd May 2009
Not very important, It works best for me but you might find it more comfortable to use the ring finger there..
- Alexiaden933rd May 2009
Thanks, but I prefer playing as much as possible with my pinky finger, so I'll follow your way !
Sorry for being confusing

In today's lesson, we'll learn how to use a simple rhythm motif to improvise. The key is to keep a steady simple rhythm division and just play with it as you create your lead. In this case, we'll use 16th notes which are groups of four notes per beat.
The backing track is a simple I-IV-V in A Major. Make sure you are familiar with some fingerings of the Major scale before you start.
As always, keep focused on rhythm placement and good finger placement for optimal clean results. Practice well!
