Chris Brooks - Guitar Licks on Demand #5: Kotzen / Gilbert legato arpeggio

This week's G.L.O.D. content was requested by Greg, who wanted a break-down of the legato arpeggio + Garsed style arpeggio in "Velvet Claws". It's a lick in the style of Richie Kotzen and Paul Gilbert who've both used this shape in the past so I encourage you to steal it and do your own thing with it too! I followed it with a lick I also broke down in GLOD#1.

Got a request for a future Guitar Licks on Demand video? Shoot me a message, and email via http://chrisbrooks.com, or comment on this video.

You can get the full tab and a backing track for Velvet Claws in the Chris Brooks web store: http://chrisbrooks.com/web_store (where you can also grab my new album!)

Gear: Suhr CB standard, Xotic BB pedal, Suhr Badger 30 head and Port City OS212 cabinet.

Great playing man! 2 questions! which string gauge are you using and how is your action on the neck!?

THank you! Respect!

@DarkVelizar Hey. I use 10-46 EXPs and my action is medium, not too low, the notes are twangy without fretting out.

Hey awsome series! Maybe you could show us how you develop a "jazzy-fusion" chromatics in your solos. That would be great and very helpful for many young guitarists :)

Best regards from Poland
