Hey, this is Chris from the guitar training camp. And today we're going to be taking a look at a must know guitar lick. Alright, in the first guitar like what we have here, it's a simple four note pattern, it's gone. And I'm considering it out of a minor, this would be a here, this is the root so it's going one, flat three, which is C and D, which is four. So it's going one, flat, three, four, back down to flat three, and then back down to the root. So the pattern is you just keep doing that over and over again.

Problem is this lick. comes up in a lot of classic rock songs, a lot of rock songs. And it's a picking pattern that you really need to know. Because whether it's this kind of pattern, or maybe more of a kind of neoclassical kind of sound, this picking little picking pattern comes up in a lot of different songs in a different variety of different types of licks. So once you can kind of once you can get this picking pattern down, it's really going to help in the future. Because if you try to pick this, try to pick everything clean individually.

It's hard to get up to a great deal of speed. So So what I'm doing is I'm picking down on the A, I'm going down. I'm going down on this 13 right here. I think people call it economy picking. It's to me, it's basically going down, down, it's almost like I'm sweeping it. That's not gonna have to play those two real quick.

I'm going to go down on 14 down on 13 up on 15. And I'm gonna do a pull off, back down to 13. So it's gonna go. So that's all I'm doing over and over, I'm going down, down, off, pull off. So what, what happens here is you only have to pick three times for those four notes, because you have the pull off. And in this first example, I just have it as 16th notes.

So it's like you're going one E and two E and three E and four E. I think the hardest part for people is it's going to be getting used to doing those two down picks in a row. So basically, I'm kind of just doing one downstroke and then one. It'd be becomes very efficient because I'm just going down, up, down, up, down, up and getting four notes out of him. Now let's take a look at the second example. I in the second part, basically all I've done is I've just doubled the speed. So instead of going one E and two E and doing a one time per beat, you're probably more likely, if you can play quickly, you might do it two times per beat like this would be would be beat one.

You just doing a two times four beat. So what you want to do is you want to practice it really slowly and get the picking correct Down, down, up, up, down, down, up, pull off. You just want to keep going slowly doing the correct picking, and then speed it up in that so that you're able to go faster and faster. And I promise you you will find this lick. In a lot of different solos it may not be in this exact form. It could be with a different fingering, but you will find that this is very helpful skill to have for doing guitar solos.
