-
Here's a series of licks over a Dm7-G7-C chord progression. They're mostly eighth note lines with slurring (i.e. hammers and pulls) mostly into notes occurring on the beat. There's nothing etched in stone regarding the arti...(more)

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)
