About the Lesson
Many guitarists get depressed because they think they have learnt a lot but when it comes to show something live (in a jam where you have to improvise for instance), they don´t know what to play. You know this? Then this lesson is a very good exercice for you. One of the easiest keys to play in on the guitar is E minor. There is only one sharp (F#) to consider (except from D# which appears in E minor harmonic) and a lot of rock/metal songs are written in that key. Every guitarist should know that scale by heart. This is why I decided to focus on that point. We are going to use 3-notes-per-string patterns starting from every note from the E minor natural scale. A nice ending gives us the chromatic tapping lick which goes over 2 octaves. I changed the rhythm so that your timing skills are developed, too.
So, let´s start.
