BTW, that rhythm is cool (first line). One of those that is hard to figure. You have 8 note groupings, but within each group exactly what is going on is hard to describe, have to do it by ear.
- David Wallimann9th May 2008
All the licks are played in 16th notes, that's 4 notes per beat. It does have an awkward fee as the ideas are based on 3 notes patterns, but it all falls into place correctly...

Stratman5810th May 2008Hey David, question...
the Lydian mode sounded very Satriani'ish, and I noticed that the sound from that mode Satriani often incorporates into his tunes. I think he often uses it as a bridge in his songs, creating a bit of tension in the more Ionian and major sounding songs. Am I kinda on to something here? Or is that just Satriani style? LOL, I kinda confused myself with this question

You're right man, Satriani does use the Lydian mode a lot.
Good job! :-)

It's easy for guitar players to get stuck in the same area of the fretboard while improvising. In this lesson we'll study a little exercise using open strings that should help you see your scales in a new linear way.
We'll use a combination of hammer-ons and pull offs to create a nice rhythm flow that could also be the base of riff ideas.
Work on all the shapes and practice this exercise on all the strings. Remember that when it comes to guitar, knowledge is power. Memorize everything and have fun!
