Kristofer Dahl21st December 2007Hey steel - I might occasionally throw in a pull off when the pinky and index is playing on the same string!

Really neat and yes they go right into practice.
However on video 2 and 4, just a clarification - you hammer on all notes (except when you tap), correct? - Soul_Decision18th September 2007

MattE17th September 2007Very nice lesson!

- My notes
Play the exercise with strictly alternate picking, 16th notes (four notes per beat).
Mastering this kind of technique means a lot of challenges. The most obvious is: developping clean/controlled speed. In order to this it is exteremely important not to push youreslf to the higher speeds - as this will give you an uncontrolled technique. Instead practice the exercise at a tempo where you feel completely comfortable.
Once you have mastered this (usually takes a couple of years), you will find playing the lick to the metronome is one thing and playing it in an improvisation/solo is a whole other thing. You should therefore, from day one, try to improvise with the lick - even if you feel you are far from your "goal speed".From this course:
