So in the second segment of your lick of the week, we had already looked at the arpeggio shape for the first two parts. I should mention that I am also using a finger-pivoting technique here. And this is used when you've got a high level of gain on adjacent strings when you are on the same fret because we do not want to hear this. That's going to muddy up your sound and you are going to loose some of that note definition if I play it with some bad technique. You can hear that, that just does not sound pleasant anymore.
So what finger-pivoting is that you are using sort of the tip of your finger but you are rocking back and forth between the strings. So that you do not hear both of them at the same time. Now I can take a little bit of work and practice but eventually, you kind of metronome it up and you get it's sounding good even at a fast tempo.
So you can see my first finger kind of twitching there and that's basically muting between the notes so you do not hear them together. And then when I get to the next part of the lick, here I do not really need to use it but you will notice I do not have that first finger and second finger down at the same time..
So that way they do not ring together. So that gets us to the first part of the lick. So both of that is just one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two. Same thing here. The last part of the lick is just, it's sort of a regular Blues scale type of descent line. Basically, bending from the flat third or the major third. This is out of this form of the Blue scale by the way.
And so I am bending. On the thirteenth fret I am bending like a micro-bend between the flat third and major third going 10, 11, 12, then hitting 13 back to 10 on the second string, then going 12 back to nine on the third string, then 13, 12, 10, 11. That's a slur there or hammer-on and then I am trilling, doing hammer-ons and pull-offs from 12 to 10 on the fifth string. That's actually played with a triplet feel - one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. So that's sort of contrast with that first part.
One other suggestion before I play the lick one more time for you is that if you are playing with a little less gain, you can get a little bit of a country sound. You can try hybrid picking on this part and actually letting the notes ring together. So you can hear with less of the gain, and it actually works with the high gain rock sound, you do want to have that note separation.
So let's play the lick one more time. So in our next clip, we will be looking at a little bit of the theory behind the chord tunes that we are using for this lick.
Hi! everyone. My name is Ryan Nor, I play guitar in Albanians to Hazel. This would be a G chord and you just drum down, in an arpeggio, you back up. In the last banishes.
