Hi Stephane: I joined GMC because of this lesson. I am new so not sure how to make a request but would like to learn legato as played by hines, holdsworth or macdonald. Thought I heard a little in lick 5.
Stephane Lucarelli16th September 2011OK thanks for clarifying - sounds very interesting! What is the moded name?
It's a Suhr Pro Series S4
Kristofer Dahl13th September 2011OK thanks for clarifying - sounds very interesting! What is the moded name?

Thanks Gab!
By the way Stephane - would you like to tell us a little more about the guitar? I know very little about Suhr (except that they seem to be amazing!)
I've got this guitar since the February, and it's a great pleasure to play this one!
Everything is great, the tone, the neck (awesome playability), the pickups... It's a modern Start with a great versatility.
Don't try a Suhr or you'll sell your strat...
Gabriel Leopardi12th September 2011Your phrasing in this lesson is so tasty and inspiring! Thanks for this great lesson!

Thanks Bogdan!
Your phrasing is über inspiring as usual - and the concept useful (a lot of people have probably practiced arpeggios without realizing you can 'reuse' them).
Also it looks like expanded your guitar family?!
Thanks!
Yes there's lot of cool stuff to do with arpeggios, triads, substitutions... I'm working on it for some time now & wanted to share some ideas with you guys!
And yes, the family is getting bigger!

Bogdan Radovic6th September 2011Awesome lesson Stephane! I think in general if one can't make cool sounding phrases with only strong notes - he won't be able to do it with added notes either. Great way to show how you can make cool phrases with just a few notes!

Hi GMC!
In this lesson I'll share with you some ideas & concepts about arpeggios phrasing : How to create some interesting and meaningful lines using arpeggios & triads?
Use the licks in this lesson as a starting point. Don't just learn the lines by heart, but change the rhythm, the combination, add some chromaticism, build your own vocabulary.
In other words, be creative!
Some words about theory :
We are in a modal context here : the backing is a vamp over a Dm7 chord so we are going to use the D Dorian mode/scale and all the diatonic arpeggios/triads to build the lines.
The D Dorian mode is the second one from the C Major scale. We've got the following triads & arpeggios and the resulting enrichment:
Each arpeggios & triad will add different enrichment notes, some are more colorful than others.
I used different kind of arpeggios & triads, different fingerings, sometimes with string skipping, sometimes the starting point is not the root.
Don't always start on the root note : it will help you to find new ideas and new ways to connect them!
Gear used :
- Suhr Guitar
- Cornford Roadhouse 30
- Some reverb & delay in the DAW
Explore, be creative & have fun!
