Here are a few simple ideas for playing the E minor pentatonic in one position by using pulloffs, instead of picking every note. You get a different sound when using pulloffs instead of alternate picking, and I find it is much easier too.

  • is that a epi? cause it looks just like mine

  • No it's a Suhr Classic.

  • nice to see you back!

    Btw, what is you distortion/overdrive? does it come from your amp or a pedal??

  • I used a Mack Heatseker 18 tube amp and a Cool Cat Distortion pedal.

  • Thanks! Yes, it is a Suhr Classic, got it a few months ago. Fantastic instrument - I'm super happy with it.

  • I think you just solved my whole pull off dilemma. I've been having problems with getting the pull off note to sound louder, it would always sound like it's 50% lower in volume than the first note. Never would have thought of pushing the string downward like that.

    Seriously, thank you.

  • Hey, dude, I have the same guitar :D

  • Hello sir,

    I am able to play with alternate picking the same speed as you played. And i can do even faster than that. But when it comes to pull off i really am bad at that. I never played pull off's never did i practise. I find it difficult to apply pressure and leave in order to make the pull off successful.

    I just have a question that how much time does it take to be comfortable with itcoz i wanna focus on legato techniques soon.

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

  • Nice little lesson... but that minor pentatonic scale just doesn't sound right to me without a b5.

  • omg wow.....at about 1:31 i went OHHHH!!!!! so simple....thank you :)

  • show muito bom!!

  • Nice lessons

    p.s. 3:55 WTF

  • @jondanet what he plays at the begin hm?

  • Ex 5 that starts at 5:30 is cool.

  • This gave me a few ideas, thank you!
