AlexLion10th August 2009Oups sorry, that just was different blues pentatonics, I thought it was in one key
- AlexLion10th August 2009
That was pure excellence
Some very cool licks here! How do you get those D# and F in video 3? Just chromatic passing notes or you take those from phrygian\harmonic minor?

Trond Vold18th December 2008Fantastic lesson
- Sinisa Cekic18th December 2008Awesome, your sound is somewhat different, do you combine alternate with economy?, I am wondering because it has a different feel
Yes Jose,as you know this is a very hard picking style,so economic is simple a necessary sometime due to long lead parts,
just to rest left hand sec. or two
Tnx Everyone again !

Thanks guys !!!
very well done!! Just one thing. The Blues "pentatonic" scale is a pentatonic scale? I always thought it was one of those hexatonic (6 notes) or w/e they are called.
, right Oxac, it is hexatonic, but i prefer to say - pentatonic+1, or extended pentatonic

Kuba Szafran16th December 2008Amazing playing Sinisa, great exercise
!
Ajmurrell16th December 2008Awesome video! The lesson looks really good too, would you recommend it for homing in on synchronising your left hand/right hand movements together? I have problems with this at speed and it looks like this would improve both my staccato and synch!
Nice one.
Kristofer Dahl16th December 2008Sinisa you have absolutely crazy chops - thanks for this killer lesson!

Hey GMCers, this is my new lesson and talking about staccato exercise.
One of the most demanding practices for the left and right hand coordination is - staccato!
A staccato is a short, fast note. One simple explanation is - think of touching something really hot. You would take your hand right off it immediately and that's how long a staccato note should be. :)
A few important things before you start practice are:
Alternate picking technique / up&down alternate strokesThis technique is very important!
Considerable concentration and strenght are needed for long phrases and accurate picking..
Palm muting / to avoid any unvanted tones
Metronom / play in measure to build strong accurate picking hand.
Work on your right hand, since every note is picked. Begin at a slow tempo, then progressively speed it up.
Ok, here we have simple backing track starting in Em.
4/4, tempo 130 bpm.
Enjoy !
