Introduction

Hey GMCers,

This lesson is a Fusion lesson, I called it Fast and Fusion because it contains 32th note runs. Don't be affraid of these runs, practice them slowly and it will come, if you find it difficult to do 32th note with a metronome, you can play 16th note and double the tempo. The tempo here is 90 bpm, so you can play 16th notes at 180 bpm it's the same thing.

Techniques that you can find in this lessons are alternate picking, two hand tappings and some whammy bar tricks.

The key is D Dorian, but I'm using some out notes too and chromatic licks.

I've included a loop playback, once you've learned the lesson, jam over the backing track and try to find your own licks.

Chord progression : Dm7 - Csus2 - Csus4/B - D
Tempo : 90 bpm

Hope you like my lesson, if you have any question, please don't hesitate to ask them.

Cheers,
Jad.

This lick is full of tapping, on the second bar, I'm playing a tapping with two fingers, I'm using my middle finger for the 9th fret on the D string, then I'm doing a hammer on to the 10th fret (this time with the ring finger) and then a pull off to get back to the 9th fret. Then I'm doing a serie of slide tapping, I do a tapping on the 5th fret and slide up to the 7th fret.
