Brev Sullivan My favorite Sick Guitar Licks

[UncleRob199]

I duno why people slag video lessons. Someone tries to share knowledge, and people can't seem to realise it's a demonstration video. If they want to hear a song, they should look up a song :S Anyway I like your techniques, One of them looks like the normal diminished scale, played with different phrasing.

[hanksteelbranch]

I don't know what everyone's so upset about. I think it sounds pretty cool.

[MrDarinWarren]

I just don't have the time to sit and run scales to that speed. But I do try to play what I can well.

Great video! Great playing. I'm inspired to practice more.

[BrotherDevious]

Hey Brev, any chance of showing how you incorporate these kinds of scales into solos or more melodic lines?

Also... interesting (ie, unusual!) picking technique you've got there. Is it the 'George Benson' technique? A video explaining that would be great, too.

Thanks in advance.

[BrevSullivan]

@BrotherDevious I stated in the video that these are 'Unusual' modes borrowed from the modern jazz and bebop. I'm using whole tones and whole half diminished scales. Not often used in rock but rather jazz and fusion. I'm shredding them here to show that there are alternate scales to use rather than the predictable. Inspired by my teacher Jazz legend Joe Diorio. To hear an example in a song check out my CD on itunes "5 minutes 'till stage" by my band Featured on Fridays. Song: Scrabmlin rabbits

[BrotherDevious]

@BrevSullivan Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I understand these are exercises (I do them myself) but I have yet to find a way to incorporate them into my playing musically. I'll check out your CD... whether I'll be able to comprehend what you're doing, by ear, is another matter :-P

And the right-hand technique? Some info on that would be much appreciated (I'm sure not just by me!) but by any guitarist hoping to get up to speed who doesn't find the 'conventional' way of holding a pick natural.

TIA

[iamthanatos]

SOUNDS LIKE SHIT.... play with some Fucking emotion

[BrevSullivan]

@iamthanatos Why don't you post a video of you recording/ playing with emotion and show everyone how's it's done. Cheers!. (Can't wait for your great video!)

[HakonSoderholm]

Okei, you're fast, but where is the music??

[BrevSullivan]

@HakonSoderholm Why don't you post a musical video of your own and we can see what you are talking about. Cheers.

[BrevSullivan]

@HakonSoderholm Okei is misspelled. The correct spelling is'okay'

[iceymanjack]

i wish my fingers would be as fast as that

[geicowithdagheko1]

That song at the beginning sounded terrible... Was that a song?

[ShredCo]

I hear a bit too much repitition in these pieces.

[BrevSullivan]

Yes. it's an exercise not a symphonic suite. And exercises require repetition to perfect them. Just like building muscle you must repeat the exercise. That's the whole point of this lick.

[juggalokid224]

very technacle player

[drewhart2]

Awesome playing. Do You have any cds for sale?

[BrevSullivan]

Yes I do. Send me a message to my inbox here and I'll provide you the info you need to purchase one. Cheers.

[drewhart2]

Great! Tell me how to get one Thanks!

[BrevSullivan]

Just contact me at my personal e-mail here. I sell direct. Not through any other site at this time.

Thanks

[stratcat07]

now lets see what you can do without moving your fingers as fast as you can...

[BrevSullivan]

No problem, I play slow stuff as well. Type in One Note Solo Brev Sullivan Lesson. Cheers.

[stratcat07]

@BrevSullivan Hmm....just had a look, cool..

What would be cool if you have the time is do a lesson on how Robben Ford would use the 'Whole tone Half tone' scale.

Cant find anything like it on youtube or the net :(

[BrevSullivan]

NO problem, In the meantime, why don't you post a video on what YOU would do with a whole tone half- tone scale and how it could be used Robben Ford style? Cheers
