Alexiaden9316th July 2009Correction ! I didn't notice you were actually sitting in front of the orchestra !
I guess your amazing fingering got me distracted from the background !

Hey Piotr ! I found this lesson by browsing Dexxter's REC videos ! I think he plays it perfectly, and so I had to see the original "take" !
Awesome lesson, and I love the picture at the end ! 
Piotr Kaczor3rd July 2009Two things that I suffer from. Pinkie weakness and hand coordination. This lesson is another great one as it is not only melodic, but it is riddled with very important exercises for right left hand coordination and using all fretting fingers. Piotr, another fantastic lesson. I'm glad I found it, as humbling of an exercise as it is!
Thank you, my friend and good luck with pinkie-coordination exercises

Thank you, mate! 
fkalich14th March 2009My membership expired last November, I figured I would work for awhile on things I have memorized but not mastered, on technique. I knew I would rejoin sooner or later. After looking at your lesson here, I am real close to wanting to go ahead pay to come back in.

Hi all! In this lesson we are going to develop skills of our pinky :) The fifth finger is naturally not too strong so this exercise will help you strengthen the muscles and joints of the finger.
This lesson was inspired by Bach's organ preludium. I've engaged a string orchestra to create a baroque mood :) So I hope that the backing track will help you to feel the great baroque atmosphere.
We are going to use:
- alternate picking,
- barouque technics like ostinato,
- sweep pickingTempo: 120
Time sig: 4/4I used D minor scale.
This is the preset I used for the POD XT live for this lesson:
Amp: MS 2002 Angel P-Ball, Drive 4 - Bass 5 - Middle 6- Treble 4 - Presence 4
Cab: 4x12 2001 Line 6
Dly: Stereo Delay, Delay Time - 120(quarter note) - Mix 28%
Rev: Medium Hall - Mix 20%
Stomp: Classic Distortion
The lesson is available in the guitar pro 5 file, mp3 backing tracks included.
Have fun!
Piotr
