Guide to becoming a virtuoso (Page 2 of 2)

Yep:) Theres loads that start this way.
Maybe an idea to share msn or something to talk guitar stuff more?

In addition to that:P

Here's somethign I came up with while improvising over the Whale that swallowed Jonah.

Often when I improvise, I find licks tjhat I want to play fast but they get sloppy, so what I do is single out those licks and practise them seperately so that I would be able to whip em out during improv.

This is a cool "repeating" lick, using 8 notes, 2- 4 note patterns.

This is a thing in "G pentatonic" major/minor, both could fit, also, this is easily slide-down-able and so easy to use in any other key:)

The root of the lick is the "top right note;) So in this case, in G, like you could play it over "The Whale that swallowed Jonah

E----------------------13--------15-13
B----------15-13-15----15-13-------
G
D
A
E

You could easily repeat this lick  like this: Etc.
E----------------------13--------15-13------------13-------15-13
B----------15-13-15----15-13-------15-13-15----15-13-------

Practise this with a metronome, I practise it that I set the meteronome to (for example 106 bpm) and I start the phrase at a time where theres no click, so I play like the click is the hi-hat, on the second note. So I will start playing when theres no click, and the click will fall at my second 15th fret note on the b string, the 3th note in the phrase that is.

this is how you can practise any difficult licks to play fast!
