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

9/18/2020

1 Comment

 
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.

Triplet Power Chord Guitar Rhythm with Most Down Beats Omitted

8/21/2019

0 Comments

 
This particular triplet guitar rhythm has you not playing on the down beat of beats one, two, and three. You play a quarter note on the down beat of four to help make sure you are still in time with the metronome. This rhythm gets pretty tricky as you get faster.
