Stretching, a combination of a 3 string sweep picking arpeggio with alternate picking in between. Alternate picking and chromatics a la John Petrucci.

Metal with some groove. A shuffle which allows to create interesting phrasing ideas. Combines alternate picking, legato, and sweep picking.

The Lydian mode is one of my favorites. It brings a mysterious kind of feel to a major 7th chord and is often used to "open up" a musical piece.

We'll talk about the Mixolydian mode. This mode is the 5th mode extracted from the Major scale.

Heavy guitar riffs played at shred speed. Combines 16th note triplets and 16th notes at 144 bpm.

A few licks using the Dorian and minor pentatonic scale. The following licks are very usable in most musical situations.

A solo based on Lydian mode using advanced modern techniques such as legato, sweep picking and alternate picking!

Get to grips with some Paul Gilbert style alternate picking, string skipping and riffing.
