This is a cool chromatic line I've come up with doing a guest appearance on one of the songs of the upcoming 3rd OSV album. Click here to download the bigger version of the tablature and the mp3:

As you can see and hear, the solo is in the key of E minor, and it starts with two unison bends in the first bar, and a simple bend-and-release pattern in the second bar. Notice, how these two bars are rhythmically connected by the solo guitar, using different notes and techniques but the same rhythm.

At the end of the second bar I start the chromatic line. I took the 5 notes of the E minor pentatonic scale as reference points and did some chromatic 'journeys' around them. In the fourth bar you have to shift positions twice, so I wrote the fingering below these two points.

When using chromatic lines, it is important to end the passage on one of the main notes of the key - this time I've landed simply on the root (D string 14th fret). ]]> JonasTamas http://www.jemsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96992 http://www.jemsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96578&goto=newpost Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:45:18 GMT Hey guys,

Sometimes it happens to me that after a while playing (like 1 hour straight) I get a weird feeling on my wrist on the alignment of the thumb.. it's almost as if someone for 1 tiny fraction of a second pinched some tendon.. not a big deal or pain but nevertheless I can feel something which is starting to get me a bit worried.. have you guys ever felt anything like this before ? 8O
I hold my pick like most people.. between thumb and index finger and during my practice I try to improve my fast picking.. doing 2,3 notes per string stuff.. triads and all that! I wonder if I'm doing something wrong... ]]> mindwalker http://www.jemsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96578
