Long Shred Guitar Scale Run in 12/8 (playing 6 notes per beat) Using Alternate Picking and Legato

9/18/2020

4 Comments

 
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.

Guitar Scale Run - 16th Notes 3 Note Pattern for 3 Beats - 1 Beat of Ascending Sextuplets

8/14/2020

0 Comments

 
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.

Sextuplet Burst Endurance Shred Guitar Exercise in E Minor

2/26/2019

0 Comments

 
This was given to a guitar student to help them with playing sextuplet runs (aka: 16th note triplet runs). This exercise has you playing short bursts, but also works your endurance because you are asked to play the same thing 4 times in a row.

The tab in the video has triplet groupings shown, but the tab you can see in this blog entry and download have sextuplet groupings instead so you can see the beats more easily.

Lengthy Sextuplet (16th Note Triplet) Guitar Run in E Minor

1/13/2019

0 Comments

 
This is an extended alternate picking exercise given to a guitar student. The original was basically finished on beat 3 of bar 2 shown in this video. The extended version gives some more fingering variety, and is good for endurance work.

For pure speed work, I recommend breaking this up into smaller pieces. Breaking it up into smaller pieces is something I did in order to work this thing up to a speed I wanted, and you can see the steps I took in the Guitar Log on the YouTube channel.
