playaxeman20th February 2010There are great solo parts in this lesson. The 3 part minor approach is also very useful.
So thanks for another great lesson.
Marek Rojewski20th February 2010Yep some George spirit is in it:) Especially at the beginning. I think I'm gonna give this lesson a try, lately I am trying to learn the minor scale, as having only pentatonic scale at my disposal (and not knowing it inside out) is not enough even for me;)

Hi GMC-ers!
Welcome to my new lesson, in which I would like to give some ideas on how we can use an E minor scale in three positions and how we can switch between them! Some parts of this solo reminds me a bit to George Lynch’s style. I guess his playing is unique.
The key of this lesson is E minor. We use three E minor scales. At the first the seventh and the eleventh fret
The solo begins in E minor at the 7th fret and after some slided notes we continue it with some open string blues patterns in the first and the second mode henceforward in E minor. Then this part is closed at the 7th fret again. The third part is at the 12th fret. Here we use mainly the E blues pentatonic scale.
And in the last part a simple melody playing from a 7th fret E minor scale again.
I hope you’ll enjoy this lesson!
The lesson contains the following techniques:
-bends
-slidings
-vibrato
-palm muting
-alternate picking
-scales
Good practicing!
