I hear ya, another left-play-righty gimp here.
If it wasn't for hammer-ons, I dunno where I'd be... Pretty much just had to realize my speed limit, unless I start practicing hours a day again I guess.
Not to distract from the thread, but have you found anything that helps the right hand stuff for our situation? PM me if so and ya don't mind.
Peace.

i can do legato not too badly in one position... where i get owned bad is where there are position shifts or slides (like satch, lynch, etc.).
I never really do all legato or all picked, i kinda do a gilbert type thing that's in-between the two... just what kinda comes naturally (i did it before i realised gilbert did)...

Super Locrian is mode 7, and Lyd. Dom. mode 4.
How does that help? Simple say you play an E alt. dom , use F melodic minor. As in E Super Locrian..or as in e-f-g-ab(g#)-bb-c-d-e
Or to use lyd. dom play the B melodic Minor...e,f#,g#a#(bb)-b-c#-d-e
And while I'm at it the old Yngwie move is along the same lines. Play harmonic minor a fifth up.
As in over E7, play A harmonic minor...e,f,g#,a,b,c,d,e
When you have an altered dominant chord...or the implication of it. Say as in E7#9,E7#11. You have two very obvious choices when it comes to using melodic minor. Super Locrian and Lydian Dominant. Both are modes off the melodic minor scale.Digital Jams":a96d7 said::|::QBB:
Super Locrian???
Thanks for all of the input guys, will be using this big time tomorrow when I start hitting the legato exercises.....too drunk right now

Im actually learning Legato and Tapping as well. and my teacher is killer.
One of the most difficult and stupid things for me is left hand muting .Im pretty good with muting using picking hand. But its hard to do it with the fret hand and try to not be concsious of it and slow down ..I can see it taking some time ..to get it to be habit

It's always a blast to see killer players play some mean ass licks! Very humbling and inspiring.
Doing bends is very good training for the pinky too.

Very true! I am really lucky to have this guy to say the least.
I did not see your question Jaako, the 550 is doing great and getting ready to install a new bridge pup. Can't say what it is yet though

FWIW if I hear A7b9 that's an immediate A phrygian dom sound to me, as in D harmonic minor.
Huh, not sure I understand what you mean? The 7th mode of Bb Mel min is A Super Locrian what I'd expect to hear across a 7#5. The first mode would be A melodic minor, which really wouldn't work for my ears because of the major 7 in it.70strathead":b0f26 said::|::QBB:
Well said Ed. In my example, the Altered dominant Chord I use is A7#5 or A7b9 which implies Bb Melodic Minor....the first mode would obviously work as well, but not as harmonically pleasing as the 4th or 7th.
good stuff!

Play this pattern 13-10-12-13-12-10
Now play it without any pick strokes, play it all the way across the board from e to E string and back. No picking whatsoever. Play it with the 12th fret note used with the ring, and when your hand is about to fall of use the middle.
Send the chiropractor bill to Bob.
And now turn this around...
10-13-10-12-13-12 still no picking at all, not even the first note.
Send this doctor's bill to Ralphie...
Want some more pain?Digital Jams":c14cb said::|::QBB:
MAkes sense, thanks Ed as always.
Shit my pinky is freaking killing me, I cannot believe much much I have not worked it out and 2 hours of pull-offs and Yngwie single string 10-13-12-13-10 and it is freaking throbbing
