Juan M. Valero26th September 2007WOW, your lesson are always excelent !!! Very interesting the use that you do with minor and major scales, sounds good
Another thing, finally I have bought the Chameleon (I haven't got enought money to get the Prophesy) but the sound is awesome !!! But I cannot record my lesson using it because it will be in my local
- Muris Varajic27th September 2007

Great,Chameleon is awesome unit too.
What do you mean by it'll be in your local?

IDontWantThisUsername27th September 2007One quick one, What kind of music do you typically use thirds in ?
I think it sounds cool on the piano- Muris Varajic27th September 2007
Well,you can use it in any style and on any instrument,
all you have to do is to find right spot for it. - eddiecat28th September 2007
Hi Eat-Sleep-and Jam!
I think the main reason why Muris put those thirds
sequences is to force us to change picking direction.
Cheers - IDontWantThisUsername28th September 2007
I don't change my picking direction when playing this =P
- Muris Varajic28th September 2007
Not really Eddie,I wanted to show you some sequences
instead of playing straight scales up and down.
Picking here is same through whole lesson,starting with downstroke.
But I did talk about changing direction of picking,in lesson Upstroke Focus. - eddiecat28th September 2007
Sorry, I said it wrong.
What I meant by "changing direction" is not always picking 6th string, then 5th, then 4th etc...
I should have said changing string sequence.
Sorry, my fault! - Muris Varajic28th September 2007
Ahh ok
No need to be sorry tho!
mattacuk9th October 2007that is just so fantastic !
Tank11th October 2007Great exercise muris (just using it as part of my practice today
) With a little extra learning, this turns into an uber-workout by applying it to all the first position modes.- Muris Varajic13th October 2007
That's great Tank,glad it's helpful!
murphy3314th October 2007yes a very good lesson
- mattacuk24th October 2007
This is tougher than it looks, but im glad i have put it in my routine !
- Muris Varajic24th October 2007
Yeah Matt,might be tricky for the first time
but it'll surely help you to be ready for many types of licks latter on!! 
Farbror Kudde26th October 2007ah this is perfect for me!
Im not perticularly good with the pick so this will do wonders - Muris Varajic27th October 2007
Glory to the pick then!

Hello guys and welcome to my 4th Alternate Picking Lesson (Beginner-Intermediate).
I got a request to do this not so long ago so I tried to accomplish it. :) If you're newbie to picking and scales/boxes I hope this might help.
The lesson is based on 2 scales in 2 boxes with some sequences as well. As always I'm providing slower Backing Track for you to nail these 16th notes in slow tempo first. In my previous picking lesson I talked about playing the same licks starting with both downstroke and upstroke. You can apply that in here as well if you wish. :)
Alternate Picking Lesson 4 (Beginner-Intermediate) contains:
-Alternate Picking
-C major and C minor scales in 2 boxes(3 notes per string)
-Sequences in third intervals
Have fun!
Muris Varajic
