Good luck my friend !!!
shellshock19116th November 2007I notice during video 1, you do strict alternate picking, but in video 3 when you are doing it slow you do economy or slow sweeping I guess down the strings. Which one is best for these types of runs?
The Uncreator6th November 2007Great Video Awesome Lesson!!

Legato and sweeping are awesame.- placeboeffect15th December 2007
Very nice major scale shredding!
One question: Is the B Phrygian scale correct? I don't recognize that pattern in the major scale.

In the first section, as the run does back down the strings, my fingers wants to use my middle finger on the G, D and A strings. But David is using his ring finger. Probably a schoolboy question, but should it definitely be David's way and I'm in a bad habit. Or can it be played either way? Thanks!!
Darius Wave12th March 2014Hey EvsT70! It's a matter of Your choice. Personally I do use the middle finger in such a situation as well, and I'm used to do this for years. But...If You are able to make yourself switch the habbits, then You'll find that doing this with ring finger is a bit more comfortable when You play standing with strap on.
Cosmin Lupu12th March 2014Hey EvsT
Darius hit the spot with this one, so thank you for the comment and let us know how it goes and which way feels easier for you.

The Major scale is a great key to shred in. This lesson will focus on different techniques that will hopefully inspire you.
The track is build on a G Major scale. We'll be using 3 notes per string scales in order to play fast legato runs. Memorize the 4 different modes that are written below as they are all taken out of a G Major scale.
I hope you enjoy this lesson!
