This lick is taken from my lesson “Extended pentatonic licks”. It's in the key of Em and is in the style of Paul Gilbert, featuring combined picking and legato and using extended pentatonic shapes.
This lick is about rhythm displacement, we have phrases starting on 1st beat, 2nd beat and even after 16th pause so it creates pretty interesting effect time wise.
This is a short neoclassical sounding alternate picking and string skipping lick. It will help you develop your right – left hand coordination and improve the precise movement of your pinky. Check it out.
This time we have something cool derived out of the position 2 in A blues scale. We're playing over a blues boogie in A, so this lick would fit perfectly in something like Joe Satriani's "Satch Boogie"
The two distinguishing features here are the use of the 7/8 time signature, and the different motion of the harmonies. The arpeggios move in different patterns and the result is that the interval between the notes changes every time. The idea was to create a web of sound where the two parts merge into each other.
This package is aimed at intermediate level players who want to expand their improvisational vocabulary. The Mixolydian mode is explained in detail in the included lesson write-up, alongside the 6 great licks featured in the main video.
