Thx for that clip. I follow all the theoretics (as I am a big admirer of McLaughlin and Lane), but what really kicks me is your picking speed. You use only alternate picking? What hints could you share the improve picking speed, durage and uniformity?
Thank you and much appreciated for checking out the material. For some odd groups I might repeat a pick stroke but usually its alternate picking. Try just two strings at a time and move them up and down the neck instead of across to focus in on the picking (start on both down and up strokes to see what works for you) and small excerpts of Violin Studies (memorised) are very good too as exercises to move in all keys and on all string sets. I hope that helps and let's stay in touch.
great lesson Scott... I'm a fan of Mahavishnu...like you I feel comfortable with inside picking...although I m a little frustrated because i cannot reach high speed with the outside picking like many guitarists ....
This gives me so much and spice upp my poor improvisations vocabulary - I´m partly a good composer, also was a totally hopeless understanding music theory (also in writing English to) so this is very important to me. (tuning guitar EADGHF - also building my own keyboards - a neutral one, not like the Classical keyboard/piano.)
hay Scott what do you think about the Kiesel Vader 6 string and Carvin amps, tube and solid state, me thinks me get the Vader soon, will be able to work shortly and get decent gear again
Wow! This was awesome Scott. Such a great way to refresh the pentatonic scale for me. I am now using the upstroke and it's flowing like crazy. Thank you so much!
my longest finger is just under 3ins. this type of playing I love to be able to do, think if I worked on this I would be able to do it? oh and my fingers have no relation to other parts of the body OK! Lol
OMG in the 60s I lived on Macauley road went to Macauley primary and Clapham manor school, beautiful common, my dad was a Greek Canadian pro wrestler working in England from 1939 to 1970 then brought us to Canada, me mam was from Laciesire, Google images Mike Demitre. talk about a small world
you live in Brighton seaside town ya, you come into London (Clapham) each day to work or once a week? what street in Clapham, would like to go there by Google maps, I visit Clapham Common regularly on Google earth and go to my old stomping grounds, it like driving through the area from my couch
Excellent lesson!!

Try a shift instead of stretching Anthony. Shift the hand quickly and that will do it.
ya I see you said that in the video, I'm just hoping I will be able to do it as smoothly as other things I can play
Go for it Anthony!!
cheers S the sun is up I'll go sleep now
Excellent dude! Sounds like John McLaughlin
TY and that was kind of you
@@mtstyre7768 yw!
