D Major/B Minor Legato Exercise (Paul Gilbert lesson)

In this example I take a B Minor run from Paul Gilbert's "Norwegian Cowbell" but to simplify we are going to think of it as D Major and see how the major diatonic modes patterns create the lick. Tab available at guitarnoize.com here: http://bit.ly/V8ybA

if you watch eddie van halen and his solo on the "Live Without a Net" dvd, he does this same legato to build up and shred...its pretty awesome. nice video.

Live without a net is an awesome video, I learned a lit from watching that.

This is a good exercise to practice scale and strengthen left hand.

May i suggest to play it with a sweeping technique reagarding the right hand ?Anyway, this is cool to show this technique.

Yes this is just a base exercise feel free to experiment with it, it is great for legato but also a great alternate picking exercise too. Sweeping doesn't really work unless you can play this at blistering speed but by all means have a go!

That's from norwegian cowbell, right? Could you possibly tell me the chords at the beginning of the song?
