berko1st October 2008
Ive been checking out different "exotic" scale types recently to spice my playing up but this is simply amazing how you get a fresh and cool sounding extreme solo with the good ol' pentatonic scale even with some rock cliché... Hey man! 
Vinod Saranga1st October 2008Oh Muris that's great

Jose Mena2nd October 2008Awesome Muris, loved tapping at the ends
Nemanja Filipovic2nd October 2008As always,the best possible performance.Thanks.
- Muris Varajic2nd October 2008
Thanks everybody!
- lliber2nd October 2008
i cant believe you only have four fingers on your left hand, terrific, but a bit beyond me at the moment
Marcus Siepen2nd October 2008what an awesome lesson, great Muris
Vasilije Vukmirovic2nd October 2008Great as always!
I am trying to imagine how it would sound without distortion, for example with "Pat Metheny delay" preset in GuitarRig. I see you are a great picker so it would sound clean even with clean sound. Maybe you could post some lesson playing fusion but with fusion tone a la Gambale or Metheny.
- El gran orejas2nd October 2008
Wow, Amazing Muris.
I thought it was impossible with pentatonics stuff.
Unreal. - Muris Varajic2nd October 2008
Thanks!
Oxac2nd October 2008Sick... .. . .. ... .. . .. ... I am speachless...
BIGD22nd October 2008Man I gotta tell you that you and Zack kick the pentatonic into the upper regions and it is beyond myself at this time.
Gotta tell ya it's pretty cool to get that sound......- Muris Varajic2nd October 2008
That was very kind,Zakk owns,cheers.
Carlos Carrillo3rd October 2008wow!! WOW!! just..WOW WOW WOW!!
Nazgul3rd October 2008Once I get to this level (in about 400-500 years I hope
), I'll learn this lesson.- Muris Varajic3rd October 2008
It's not about years Nazgul,it's about hours.
Few hours per day practicing and everything is possible,
sooner or later. 
Danilo Capezzuto4th October 2008Powerful lesson Muris!! Sure I will rip off some licks from you! Keep on, I need other licks lessons from you!
Toni Suominen4th October 2008Awesome shredding lesson Muris!
Dejan Farkas4th October 2008Amazing lesson mate
- Muris Varajic5th October 2008
Thanks guys!!
Alejandro Pinero6th October 2008fantastic Muris !!
- Oxac1st November 2008
I'm so going to steal the Idea of video no 3!! Chinese-ish and I love it!
- Muris Varajic1st November 2008
Stealing is a felony but nonetheless,be my guest!
- fatb0t17th December 2008
Erm, I can't possibly explain how annoying Andrews talking head is Muris...I know I'll catch flack for saying that, but I know I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Fretburns19th December 2008every lesson you make is totally awsome!!.you will keep me busy for years....i wish i could practise all day! Rock on Muris!
- Muris Varajic20th December 2008
fatb0t,if that's the case than you can
forward to playing part straight away,
no need to listen or watch to Andrew. - Fretburns27th December 2008
WOW! Muris that sliding lick is incredible!! ive been adapting it on other pentatonic keys and positions! it sounds so cool! thanks!! :0 :0
- Muris Varajic28th December 2008
Yeah,you can adapt it into every key AND scale,rock on.
- tukoredo7th February 2009
The final taping section is fantastic..great job
- Muris Varajic7th February 2009
Appreciate it, welcome to GMC tho!
- Fretburns20th February 2009
that final tapping section is so hard to get to full speed....will i ever be able to reach it...im nearly 46 yrs old by the way, and fairly new to shredding! if id of tried this sort of stuff when i was younger,it might have been a bit easier...
- Muris Varajic21st February 2009
With enough practicing you WILL reach it.
C-Rock27th February 2009Fantastic - so much creativity compressed into so little time! This exercise alone has expanded my pentatonic 'vocabulary' significantly. Thank you!
On a side note: there's a c# in the transcription of the tapping part (on the site and in the gp5 file); in the video you play a 'd'. Just wanted to let you know so some players don't get confused about the scale since c# isn't a part of b pentatonic.
- Muris Varajic27th February 2009
Thanks C-Rock, glad you liked the lesson
and thanks for input on this C# note as well, fixed. 
Alexiaden9321st May 2009Your left hand looks like a spider when you're playing, Muris ! You rock ! \../
- Muris Varajic21st May 2009
Spider it is.

Hello GMC and welcome to final lesson from Pentatonic Licks serial, this one is at advanced level. Here we have bunch of licks and different techniques such as alternate picking, string skipping, legato, tapping, hybrid picking etc. The only scale we are gonna use here is Bm pentatonic, straight as that, no added or passing notes.
This lesson demands pretty high technical level of playing but PLEASE, try it using slower backings I provided, idea is always to learn licks slowly first and then upgrade speed step by step. :)
Tempo is 100bpm, key of B minor.
Settings for Korg Pandora PX4D are:
SLG > HUM 10.0
US HI-G Gain 6.3 Bass 2.0 Middle 0.7 Treble 5.0
JAZ 1x15 8.0
No Mod Effx
PPDLy3 5.3
PLATE 1 1.7
I hope you'll enjoy this one, have fun and please let me know if you need any help! :)
