41. Scott Henderson Type Licks (#16) - Page 3 by Christopher Sung (9297)
In the same vein, this example starts out with an ascending B7 arpeggio. The line itself is really inside, but when played over a C progression, it becomes "outside". The last beat of measure 3, where the F# moves to the G i...(more)

42. Diminished Licks Over an E7 Groove (#17) - Page 1 by Christopher Sung (9297)
When you're playing over a static type of groove, you can create some interesting phrases by using parts of the diminished scale to give your lines a unique flavor. All the examples in this lesson are for an E7 type of stati...(more)

43. Diminished Licks Over an E7 Groove (#17) - Page 2 by Christopher Sung (9297)
In this example, we play the ascending scale pretty much verbatim in mms. 1-2. Note that the diminished scale is a repeating pattern of alternating half steps (1 fret) and whole steps (2 frets). In general, the most common ...(more)

44. Diminished Licks Over an E7 Groove (#17) - Page 3 by Christopher Sung (9297)
This is a fun one. There's a lot of note targeting in this lick. After the opening notes, the first 2 beats of measure 2 are targeting the B on the upbeat of beat 2. Beats 3-4 of measure 2 target the G in the first beat of ...(more)

45. Diminished Licks Over an E7 Groove (#17) - Page 4 by Christopher Sung (9297)
Because the diminished scale is symmetric, it's great for repeating motifs that ascend or descend. By symmetric, I mean that the scale actually repeats itself every three notes. What this means is that an E diminished scale...(more)

46. Diminished Licks Over an E7 Groove (#17) - Page 5 by Christopher Sung (9297)
This lick is similar in concept to the example shown in page 4, but now we are descending instead of ascending. Also, the example in page 4 repeats itself twice in every octave. In this classic example of a repeating patter...(more)

47. A Guide for Beginners - Strumming (#19) - Page 1 by Christopher Sung (9297)
One of the hardest aspects of playing the guitar when you first start out is strumming. A lot of people assume that it has everything to do with getting your strumming hand to become comfortable and fluid, but how you use yo...(more)

48. A Guide for Beginners - Strumming (#19) - Page 2 by Christopher Sung (9297)
This next pattern is very similar to that in page 1, but we start out with a down and up strum instead of just the one down strum. The basic pattern looks like this:<br> <img src="/images/beginner/strum2.gif" align="center"...(more)

49. A Guide for Beginners - Strumming (#19) - Page 3 by Christopher Sung (9297)
This example is also similar to page 1, but we've changed the third beat. Instead of a quarter note, we just use the same pattern as in beats 2 and 4. The result is an emphasis on the up strokes on all the beats except the ...(more)

50. A Guide for Beginners - Strumming (#19) - Page 4 by Christopher Sung (9297)
Hopefully, you're starting to get the hang of it. So far, all the examples have been one measure patterns. In this next example, we use a two-measure pattern that is a common one. In fact, this is the default strumming pat...(more)
