For my Presets visit: johnnathancordy.gumroad.com/ Trying to give my fingers a bit of a rest after some gigs and repetitive practice for an upcoming studio session, here's something that is a little lighter on the technique, and a bit more about playing in time, and smoothly probably...

So glad I stumbled on your channel. The stuff you post is EXACTLY what I need. I love those airy EJ flavored runs and I appreciate you going slow and offering good, solid, basic advice for students like me. 👍

Love this. I have working on a group of five followed directly by a group of six. Or two groups of five but not starting on the next note, but on the next string. Lots of cool patterns to create with fives.

I've heard EJ say that wherever it's possible he'll use alternate picking and I'd like to know your thoughts on that subject.👍

Nice phrasing found in between! As of sequences you could consider to even mix ist up some more: 5, 6, 5, 6 or even something like: 5, 6, 4, 7, or sim... That way the start points, the steps occur on other ones as expected.

Phil X does it in an interesting way where does groups of 5s on two (for example the B and High R) and he’ll do ascending or descending groups of 5s.

@darthj_der7447 Жыл бұрын

The 5th note kinda leads you into the nxt set of 5. Instead of 4. Where it sounds like your finished at 4 and then you start the nxt set. I really like it.

Nice vidz (remember that show?) I think the shifting permutations of the 5 over 4, with the 1 falling in different places in the bar, is known as an Iso-rhythm.

Descent in 2s, then 3s, then 4s, then 5s then 6s. Then alternate pick the same. Then ascend doing the same. Then move to the next position... Rinse and repeat for hours and hours. Then move to the modes and do the same, Phrygian dominant is a PITA🤘

Love your videos and your playing; subscribed. One thing: you made mention of thinking about these phrases not as cramming 5 notes in the space of 4, but as proper 16th notes, but I'm pretty sure all of these examples are quintuplets, which I suppose you could think of as a polyrhythm, but it is essentially cramming 5 notes in the space of 4, very much like a triplet. I find it easiest to count these using 1 & 2 & 3, 1 & 2 & 3, etc.

@johnnathancordy Жыл бұрын

Hey Trevor, in this example, the 5 notes don't happen in the space of 4, which is why you notice that the starting note of the phrase changes where it happens in the bar every time. A quintuplet there'd be an attack on every beat, but that's not what you end up hearing here

This grouping of 5 is pretty comfortable with a downward pick slant and a sweep on the 5th note down onto the next string to start the sequence again!

@mpeskett 2 жыл бұрын

Was about to suggest a similar thing. Avoiding a string skip and going just to the next string is another popular pattern I think and it allows you to traverse the neck a bit faster. I think I actually learnt that pattern from studying Eric Johnson’s economy picking some time ago.

@rowdy3837 Жыл бұрын

Agree. Sweeping down to the next string after the first 5 notes is much more economical than string skipping that requires you to switch pick angles from a downward pick slant to an upward pick slant. If you look closely at his picking hand you will see that he is avoiding this problem by using hammer-one and pull-offs rather than picking each note…
