Alexiaden9315th May 2009Nice ! Reminds me a bit of Slash
Melodicintenions4th April 2008I have a suggestion for all of you to achieve those stretches " your best bet I was watching the video and imagined how I would approach this not that I have yet but try it tell me if i'm wrong on this please ." anchor your thumb and raise your wrists and shift them left gently or right. so your fingers can glide along the fret board to reach those hard notes..depending on where you need to stretch shift that wrist high or lower it to comfort and that lick should be damn easy to follow Dave!

Welcome to this extended pentatonics lesson! Today's workout will be very demanding on your left hand, so make sure to stretch and warm up before working on this!
We'll be using various 3 note per string pentatonic scales to achieve a fast shred like lead. All the examples will be played with a legato technique. The hard part will be the stretches.
Don't worry about speed first, but concentrate on building a strong clean technique before anything else.
As always, try to use these as a starting point in your own guitar playing.
Have fun!
