David Wallimann22nd January 2009QUOTE ([email protected] @ Jan 21 2009, 03:28 PM)I love the instrument playing along with you, whatever it is. Some sort of synth?
Yeah, it's a patch from an old sounfount softsynth I use. It's an old patch from a general midi library, but it did the trick!
Thanks for all the nice comments guys...
The track was made for a very very stupid video I did a while back..
So lame that I can't share it here..
Or can I?
Hmmm...
I guess I will! :-)

Thanks everyone!
The guitar tone is the "Another Brick" preset from my Boss GT8. It's doubled by an electric piano soundfount played in midi... That's what makes the tone so special. :-)

In today's lesson, we'll study a piece that should get your alternate picking chops up to speed. We'll be using mostly 3 notes per string scale positions in order to use the fast 16th triplet runs. To make things interesting, we'll use a combination of 16th triplet notes (6 notes per beat) and 16th notes (4 notes per beat).
Combining both of these rhythm segments will create something very upbeat that you should use in your own improvisations. Make sure to study the following scales before you go through the examples and strive for precision before speed. Speed will come after.
Have fun!
