Is that all pentatonic shiz?

[jaywitt119]

@CallMetheMusicMan It's got some pentatonic use in there, it mainly shifts between the blues scale, natural minor scale and also, as you say, the pentatonic for the quick two note per string runs.

hey man just wondering if you could give me a hint on what to practice to get such awesome speed??

[jaywitt119]

@icaari

Mainly you want to work on your alternate picking approach, knowledge of the scales you intend to use, and also the stamina of your left and right hands. I use a lot of Paul Gilbert licks so these are a great place to start to find some interesting ways around scales without just going up and down! Also, make sure you start slow and build up gradually, that way the speed will just feel easiernd your playing will sound better as a result!

Thank you very much for all the comments! In response to gbluez, it is a Breedlove Atlas, the spruce top model.

@jaywitt119 thanx man, that is exactly the problem i have been facing, struggling to break out of the up and down with scales.

Good chops there. You just played just about every Paul Gilbert lick known in history.
