Hey guys! Its your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller here with Weekend Wankshop 256!!
Have you ever wondered how the pentatonic shred masters like Eric Johnson, Zakk Wylde, Eric Gales, and Joe Bonamassa get so much shred milage out of the simple minor pentatonic scale? You're not alone! I've always loved the sound of those seemingly never-ending blues licks those guys bust out on the regular. There's a couple simple tricks all those guys utilize to achieve these signature sounds, and in this lesson, you're gonna learn them!!!
In this lesson, you're going to learn about some iconic sequencing phrases in the scale, plus a lick i made up in C minor for you to practice them. After that, we'll get into some of the picking secrets these guys use to rip through at blazing speed, and how they strategically phrase their licks for maximum picking success! These are easy things to implement into your playing to get you playing FAST through these things and help you create your own killer licks!
