This is a lick that
Paul Gilbert uses quite allot (also in other variations).
It really helped my picking; i can play soooo much faster now
Here is a simple 1st exercise:
e-----------12---------
B-12-13-15----15-13-12
Just repeat this over and over...
you can also play it with the 'e' note twice
so it looks like this:
e-----------12----12---------
B-12-13-15----15----15-13-12
Its really helpful for crossover picking.
If you can play this pretty good, try it in a run:
e----------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------9------------------------
D----------9----------------9-10-12-9-10-12----12-10-9-10-12--------
A-9-10-12---12-10-9-10-12--------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------
e---------------------------------------------------------12----------
B-------------------10----------------10-12-13-12-13-15----15-13-12-
G-9-11-12-9-11-12-----12-11-9-11-9----------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------
e-----------12-14-15---
B-12-13-15-------------
G-----------------------
D-----------------------
A-----------------------
E-----------------------
This may look like a complicated run, but if you devide it in 6 group notes its easy. It's also the same patern over and over so you can do it!
Remember, practice makes perfect!
As for the first exercise i showed you, you can play this all over the neck with different string combinations. Practice it with a metronome and after a period of time your just whailing!!!
I hope this helps you!
Maybe some other time ill post some more practise licks...
Good Luck!
