<title><![CDATA[Paul Gilbert Style Lick]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Here's a flashy lick, (a Paul Gilbert mood maybe) that is interesting to include in some of your guitar leads or as a legato exercise. The lick is based on the D blues scale and is built to sound over chord progressions based on D. The idea of playing those fast passing notes comes from the difficulties of playing the blues scale very fast with 2 notes + 3notes / strings. If you look closely, everything...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[C# Diminished Lick & Theory Explanation]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Below is a typical Diminished 7th run that I would play ascending. The diminished 7th chord is the VIIdim chord found in a harmonized Harmonic Minor scale situation, although in this instance, I am using it as a substitute for a functioning V7 chord. I am using this thinking: The V7 is a "tension" chord in any progression, its substitute diatonically is the other 'tension' chord, the VIIm7b5 chord....]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sus Arpeggio Sequences]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Hi shred fans! I'm delighted to share with you one of the chapters from my newest instructional DVD, "Supersonic Sweeping Part 2". This is actually one of the bonus chapters from the Blu-ray version. In this particular series of licks I am descending sextuplet sequences based on the pentatonic scale using a combination of pull-offs and sweeping. This gives us a sus arpeggio sound. Measure 1 is based...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Dm Arpeggio (Used In Context)]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Here is a Dm7 arpeggio that involves the use of sweeping, tapping, legato, and string skipping. One thing about phrases also that I always try to be mindful of, is that we want them to sound nice, interesting, melodic at a slower pace as well as at light speed. Think about that: the things that you play, do they sound nice when played slowly- or does it sound like a mindless scale exercise that's just...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA["The Twelth Night" Licks]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Greetings all guitar maniacs in cyberspace. I'm back with a new lesson taken from my album Silhouettes (avalible February 2011). It's a tapping-arpeggio lick taken from the song "The twelfth night", and is in regular 4/4 time signature. The first part of the lick is based on a diminished tonality (minor third intervals) and the second part is based on a augmented tonality (major third intervals). Please...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Acoustic Fire]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[As a major influence on many major pickers out there, Al Di Meola practically changed the world of picking. He played fast, and he did it on the acoustic guitar. One thing that made him exceptionally pick-tastic was his syncopation. In this example, I've provided a way to work on this concept in order to strengthen the old picken hand. Try this and/or variations of this at a super-slow pace, play it...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Econo-Sweepy]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Economy picking, or sweeping? You make the call. Either way, a very effective way of breaking up these predictable arpeggios. This example is taken from the song "Centurion 3" from my debut album "Mr. Stork." Nothing out of the ordinary as far as arpeggios, it's simply a chromatic progression using major and minor patterns. The difference is the manner in which i break them up. Pay close attention...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Glitch Picking]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Glitch Picking...well, at least that's what I call it. A while back, I was working on my inside picking (picking in between two adjacent strings). Once I got to a speed that kicked my arse, my pick began to double-pick the strings. Knowing this was an accident, I would try to refrain from doing it. However, I also realized that it sounded pretty cool. I then decided to go with it, and try to make this...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Happy Holidays! Ok, this lesson I want to show you one of my all time favorite Christmas tunes called "Carol of The Bells". Being a former member of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, I had the honor of playing this song with them. This version is off my Christmas Cd "The Meaning of Christmas" and I will be only showing you the main guitar line. There are other guitars in the mix like harmonies and rhythm...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sweepy Sweeperson]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[This little ditti contains; sweep picking, legato, sliding, tapping, hammer-ons, and pull-offs. It is notated as sixteenth notes, though sounds just as effective when playing as triplets. Practice super slow and try getting all aspects of the lick smooth and clean, just like warm milk-butter.....I mean...uh... just start slow. Speed will come naturally, smooth, clean, warm milk-butter, that's the key....]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Life is About Changes - Play Them!]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[I'd like to speak about making meaningful phrases, melodic lines, and share some tools that I use in my everyday playing that will empower you with immediate melodic ideas.  Let's face a fact about music: You are going to be playing over a key.  Very simply put: The more that you understand the structure of a <b>KEY</b> (<i>The Major Scale</i>; <i>Ionian</i> <i>Mode</i>), the more that you will understand...]]></description>
