The Art Of Picking Part 3- Appendix
(05 Aug 02)
More than 2 strings
Here are 4 short exercises, based on the G Major Patterns ( three note per string )... play all of them both ascending and descending...
Another variation... ascending in one pattern, descending in the next ( measure 1 ) and descending in one pattern, ascending in the next ( measure 2 )
OK, here are some more sequences. The first one is a "Ascend 3, jump back 2, ascend 3etc." sequence ( very popular ! ) in F Major ( 3 Note per string Pattern )... continue until you get to the high E-String... try in different Patterns two...
And descend again... "Descend 3, jump up 2, descend 3..."
Another variation... "Ascend 2, jump back 1, ascend 2", ascending in sixtuplets...
And the descending variation...
Finally, three examples for special sequences. Those give the listener the impression that itīs a very long, complicated run, while itīs actually nothign else but a simple sequence ( in this case, the same "Paul Gilbert"-sequence I showed you on the previous page, first example, measure 2 ) applied to all string-combinations...
Our example, ascending in G Major:
And descending, same sequence, but reversed:
And our last example of sequences, made up by yours truly:
Thatīs It !!!
OK, thatīs it. There wasnīt much new information in this one... thatīs what I called it an "appendix". I was just trying to give you a "Best Of... Picking Exercises". Feel free to use them in your own practising-routine, or make up your own... there are millions of different exercises you can come up with...
Good luck !
