"Perfect the Shred"
Easy...
...or is it?
This lesson shows how
runs can be constructed simply by taking a
scale, in this case
E natural minor (E F# G A B C D). The run is
constructed by playing 3 notes per string
patterns, with little variations on that at the
start and finish. Just by doing this you can
have a starting point to constructing more
complex runs, and also have a neat exercise
to practice or warm up with.
Here's one of my trademark wild shred licks which covers a lot of the fretboard.
