This is some awesome stuff dude!
I don't find it very difficult to play, but I have an other problem, like always.
For instance, I play the beginning (box "2") of the pattern, and at the end it sounds really crappy, because all the notes I previously played are echoing trough my room. I've never been good at muting strings during play, I don't even know if it is necessary here and if it is, please tell me how you do it emir, I just can't figure it out by watching the vid!
Thx!
Yes there is some muting here. I don't really think of that, it just goes instantly. I put the side of my palm on the bridge and that's how I mute. If I need more muting I press slightly to the left, nearly on the strings. When I need to release I just slide the whole hand to the right on the bridge. Those movements are very small. Combination of muted and non-muted notes gives you better dynamics and it sounds more interesting.
It will come with time I am sure. Just don't give up - muugen13th July 2009

Great lesson. Can anyone tell me if the last note in each pattern is played with an up stroke or a down stroke? The pull off is throwing me off. For example the first pattern last note is a D on the 5th fret A string. Would that note be played as an up or down stroke.
Thanks!
I'll get back to you on PM - Dacropoly9th May 2009

Great talent! Or do you sleep with that thing under your pillow? I appreciate your insight - thanks for posting and please keep them coming. I'm new and think this is a great place for expounding musical expression and expanding skills. No doubt.
Take it easy...
Thanks No, I don't sleep with it. I actually hardly practice. - intemperateControl14th February 2009

hi emir,
i noticed that you don't alternate all the time...
is that called economy picking?
No That's because sometimes there is a pull off or hammer on. If I was on an upstroke and the next note was pull off, then the one after will be upstroke again because I "missed" the one that was supposed to be a downstroke but it was played with a pull off.
Economy is when you have downstroke or upstroke two times one after another instead of going up/down or down/up.

Hello Emir,
Great lesson... I am practicing it everyday trying to get it up to speed. I am having trouble with the last section (the 16th note triplets). How can I count this? I am having trouble with the six notes per beat but the pattern repeats every 5 notes. Any suggestions for counting this out through 4 beats?
Thanks,
Chris
You can look at it as a group of 4 notes. The pattern is actually repeated after every 4 notes. So 3 of these goups of 4 is your half a bar. 6 of them would be a full bar (when you change 2 positions in the lesson). It is easier to think like groups of 4 but played in the durations of 16th triplets. Don't try to think of triplet feel beacuse it's not, just the note duration is like that. Groups of 4 is the easiest way. The accent is on the every 1st note of the group of 4. Once you get used to it you will find it very easy. Play as fast as it is enough to fit all 6 groups of 4 notes within one bar and that way you will eventualy get the feel for it.

Great lesson, great patterns, that tele they had it at the sam ash by my house some time ago.
Thank you Jose
I've never seen heavy rock like that played on a Telecaster, but it's awesome! I'm glad to see another one from you, Emir, and these are very useful licks for one to attain.
cheers mate the next one should be cool - Pi3821st January 2009

Hey Emir great lesson, i found it yesturday and i was playing it last night. This is good runs and definitly helps to memorize the other shapes of the pen minor scale.
Thanks Don't forget if you learn this one (A minor pentatonic), you actually learned C major pentatonic as well in all positions. - Nermin15th January 2009

This is such a useful lesson to learn the pentatonic scale all over the neck, great job Emir!
- enforcer12th January 2009
Thats a very usefull one Emir, generally speaking I hate minor pentatonics, thats why I never got out of position 1 or 2 but this is a good start to start to work on things like these even though I dont like.
Very well done job mate, thank you!!!
- Emir Hot11th January 2009
Thank you guys. You can do similar things with any scale. Take a scale, extract some patterns and play them in all positions on the neck. That's how you will never get lost when improvising.
- audiopaal11th January 2009
Awesome Emir
I almost never practice scales and other exercises, because most of the time I find them boring and doesn't keep me interested.
But this lesson was great and you got some really interesting patterns so I will definitely practice this one
Thanks a lot!!
- kaznie_NL11th January 2009
That's so cool! You really showed me that I can do much more with this scale!
