Danilo Capezzuto19th March 2008Good.
Carlos Carrillo21st February 2008thanks pavel!!!!very nice melodies...
Pavel11th February 2008I always tend to stick to 100% AP. Any direction changes can slow you down so i prefer AP all the way
Batguy2178411th February 2008Hi, Pavel I'm slowly getting up to speed on this, but I have a question about alternate picking. If you are soloing, playing triplets across strings, is it always down up down on the first string, then up down up on the next string?
--OR--
Do you play down up down on each string?
Does that make any sense?
shellshock19114th January 2008EDIT: theyre not sweeps, just faster string skipping i saw
- shellshock19114th January 2008
great lesson! now i just have to get those fast sweeps in at the end
Victafor23rd September 2007great lesson pavel!!!!! dang man i luv it... i learned it and i must say my hands have much more control now
- Victafor7th September 2007
i learned it but at the last fast run i have to use pull offs on the first 3 notes to get started or i find myself messing up!
sillyman15th July 2007thanx alot pavel great lesson by da way (difficult though)
- Pavel10th July 2007
As usual! I don't change my sound settings at all! Never!
Usual distortion and a bit of delay to fatten the sound!
Ok, here is a copy/paste of my settings from another topic:
Here are the distortion pedal settings (from 1 to 7):
LOW: 5
MID: 6.1
MID FREQ: 4
HIGH: 3
GAIN: 5
DISTORTION MODEL: 5
I plug it into my amp using OUT 2(MIXER). I have Marshall Valvestate AVT50 amp. So here are the settings of the amp (0-10):
BASS: 2
TREBLE: 8
(i don't have MIDDLE for the clean channel) - sillyman10th July 2007

- KiddKillit22nd May 2007
Hey Pavel I have one quick question for you Im a little confused on were the scales are on the fretboard Im not sure where your starting at. im on #3 now and im not sure if im doing it right.
- lliber25th April 2007
anyone having trouble downloading vids 3&4
white eagle4th April 2007very pretty
terryn021st March 2007Great lesson Pavel
Its something I really needed. My picking accuracy isn't all that great when im concentrating on fretting hand. I was really hoping that when i joined, there would be a lesson similar to this on here lol.
Kristofer Dahl18th February 2007VinceG: This week!
- julz_12218th February 2007
really cool lesson really helped btw it sounds a bit like canon rock to me
VinceG18th February 2007For me it doesnt feel like neo-classical but more of a smooth ballad that reminds me alot of Vai. I like the first half of this song(cept the fast part).
Robwylde18th February 2007This lesson has been very benefical. How are you achieving you're tone? The addition to Pavel @ this sight has been great. Kris when are you coming out with your next lesson. The waiting is killing me!
- Kristofer Dahl16th February 2007
Should be fixed now!
- Pavel16th February 2007
Hey thanks for the tip! Will be fixed soon!
chainsbroken16th February 2007I think you have the wrong tab with lesson number 5. correct me if Im wrong but the tab dosent go with what you are playing..It may be lesson six..Anyway Its one of the two,
- Pavel15th February 2007
Yeah that could also work fine! Let's try that!
- Kristofer Dahl15th February 2007
Hehe these are some awesome ideas...! Who knows what the future holds
It would be awesome if Pavel and I could a jam and record it...
About the scales: I could just put them on top of each other on the lessons main page - is that what you thought of Pavel? Rvddps15th February 2007
*cough* hows about you both come to say, i dunno, Scotland, maybe Edinburgh, and you hold a live masterclass there
*cough*- Pavel15th February 2007
I am still studying (2nd year) informatics. I would love to study rock guitar performance at GIT in London but it's too expensive (around 10000$ a year). So right now i am simply practicing guitar and "wasting" time at the university. But i am only 19 and i hope one day i will earn enough from my guitar playing. Maybe even come to Sweden and Kris and i create a LIVE OPEN MASTERCLASS
Steelkonsum: ok i'll work on the overview and give to Kris to upload these days. - Steelkonsum15th February 2007
Pavel, yea sorry I guess ppl like it differently
Anyway what I was trying to say was that it would be good to have all diagrams on one page (as well or just on one) so you could get an overview of the scale as a whole so you could see all boxes at the same time. - Kristofer Dahl15th February 2007
Yes I also think it's much clearer this time with scale diagram!
By the way Pavel what were you studying? - Pavel15th February 2007
Hey man! For each part there is a box illustrated below - and that is the box we use in that particular part! What's confusing?
When i tabbed the scale last time i got a comment that it would be nice to have scales illustrated! Now when i illustrated them i get a comment that it would be nice to have them tabbed. Now i am getting confused!
Sorry if i got you wrong. - Steelkonsum15th February 2007
Hey Pavel!
Nice tune as usual. But I had an idea to remove some distracting and confusing elements.
You talk alot about C# boxes and notes and stuff and it all just mashes together into one big pile of confusion so what I would like to see is all the boxes for C# tabbed out, starting from the first box to the last. Or have all the charts of the boxes on one page or something just to make it easier to get an overview.
This makes it a bit easier to look at and understand as well as practice the C# Major scale independtly of this lesson.
Otherwise really splendid lesson. Will get cracking on it the moment I get home from band practice. - Pavel15th February 2007
Thanks! I would sure love to live from teaching guitar/performing/recording but first i need to finish the university
and become a pro guitarist (gotta spend many more years to get there ) I really like the tune, i dunno, it feels quite neoclassical. Also, great lesson on string skipping, you are doing a great job as an instructor, maybe drop your degree and go on to teach guitar for a living

Let's get off the crazy shred stuff and work on something equally important. String skipping is extremely important thing, and it is difficult even if not played lightning fast.
In this lesson we will incorporate string skipping and alternate picking, create a melody, which can even work as an intro to a song, using several scale boxes of C#. If you are ready to skip some strings - check this one out!
