Long Shred Guitar Scale Run in 12/8 (playing 6 notes per beat) Using Alternate Picking and Legato9/18/2020
This long scale run, perfect for shred guitar, basically plays 6 notes per beat. You can play 3 notes per beat while learning it to make things easier (aaaaand you definitely should)
A mix of alternate picking and legato is used here. The hardest part of this, for me, is the last line shown in the tabs below. Always a good idea to break things like this down into smaller pieces when you're learning it to makes things easier on yourself.

Challenging Guitar Scale Run Inspired by Michael Angelo Batio's Keys to the Lamborghini Lick/Riff9/11/2020
After watching Troy Grady of Cracking the Code break down a Michael Angelo Batio Lick/Riff titled "Keys to the Lamborghini", this long scale run came about. It's very challenging!
This scale run kicks my arse! Basically, the B Locrian 3 Notes Per String scale/mode shape is what I'm using.
The 16th notes use a 3 note pattern because you end up hitting the same note twice in one beat. If you number the notes in each beat as 1, 2, 3, then the pattern would go 1, 3, 2, 1. After completing that pattern for the first beat, you go one note lower in key and repeat the 1, 3, 2, 1 descending pattern. This happens for 3 beats. On the fourth beat, a sextuplet (aka: 16th note triplet) ascending run occurs. Because you're bouncing all over the place, plus a very fast sextuplet burst, this particular scale run is VERY difficult for me to get going blazingly fast. 
This was given to a guitar student to work on going into pull-offs immediately after performing hammer-ons.

This was given to a guitar student to work on their legato technique while ascending up the notes in the key of A minor. Hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides all get used.

This was given to a guitar student to work on connecting three string arpeggio sweep picking shapes. This exercise starts at the top part of the shape and then works down.

This was given to a guitar student to help improve their rhythm while performing hammer-ons. The first two beats of each bar has you picking each note to help you hear how the triplets need to be spaced when you start playing hammer-ons in beats three and four.

This was given to a guitar student so they could begin working on speed picking in short bursts while changing strings.
