So you want to play a BLINDINGLY fast arpeggio like Gainfrea

[Robotechnology]

The 1st one I actually sent someone today but, the 2nd one I didn't have (at least I don't think so ). There are some Jason Becker/Marty Friedman sweeps in there... THANKS Dave!

you guys may have some fun with these.. i put these together for students when i used to teach a bit that wanted to learn specific things..so there's U.Roth "Earthquake ending solo". Yngwie/Alcatrazz "bigfoot" excerpt, a D major arp study covering all modes w/ added 9th's/7ths, and a little Bach excerpt. I went nuts on this tool for about 6 months at one point to document all my transcriptions, mostly classical excerpts. great tool!

enjoy!

PyschoDave, what the fuck man, do u have enough killer amps in your room or what?? Those Marshalls are insane looking!

here's a pretty crazy dim7th string skipping arp that I like to toy with that can sound like a video if played at high velocity!

Very cool Anthony!!!

OKAY... I guess I'll chime in too...

This might not be the EXACT key signature, but the intervals should be correct. The way Satch plays this - he uses his right hand to reach up and grab the top of the neck with his palm over the strings right at the nut in order to mute the strings, and taps each of the notes with his left hand.

I actually like to use this lick to warm up my fretting hand by moving it all up and down the neck. It sounds completely twisted that way.

Here is an easy to play arpeggio, based on a swept arpeggio Ralph was cracking up after playing it like a blur. I extended it a little bit. I have it sometimes at 64th notes/54 beats per minute... my goal is 60 bpm. Sorry about the fingering pattern at the bottom of the tab not matching up. I have it in powertab (now attached) with the picking pattern I use if ya want to have a chuckle yourself:

Gtr I (E A D G B E) - '64th Note A minor arpeggio'


Q=54

Duration Legend
---------------
Q - quarter; X - 64th;
Uncapitalized letters represent notes that are staccato (1/2 duration)
Irregular groupings are notated above the duration line
Duration letters will always appear directly above the note/fret number it represents the
duration for. Duration letters with no fret number below them represent rests. Multi-
bar rests are notated in the form Wxn, where n is the number of bars to rest for. Low
melody durations appear below the staff

Tempo markers - <E/E./Q/Q./H/H.> = BPM(8/16=s8/s16), where s8 = swing 8ths, s16 = swing 16ths

I actually use that same lick a LOT... except I do it like this:

I suck at economy picking too Jaakoo. I can get a decent tone using that style of picking but, I feel like I'm playing half speed

I don't do economy picking all the time, Ivan. I use it 99% of the time on picked pentatonic runs.

The sweep I play in this old video clip is from Theo Ziras. It is pretty easy to play and sounds very musical...I am trying to find the sheet music to it now.

Yeah of course it's easy you're a great player I am familiar with Mr. Ziras. His sweeps sound SO PERFECT... it's almost like he is a human synthesizer that you programmed and pressed play... wish, I could sound like him

On another note... that was your 5150? Sounded like a decent lead tone. Never REALLY liked that amp for leads but, it was passable to me.

Thanks Anthony... downloaded! Earthquake is not at the song's tempo right (slower) or is it?

Haven't listened to this song in a long time, going to put it on... thanks!

no it isn't, its much faster in the original recording...I just wanted to get in this tool as a reference. By the way, I showed this to Uli himself at the sky academy and the only thing he had me edit was literally pull off's instead of all staccato in some passages, but the notes and fingering are what he'd played.

And yet another variotion on a theme....the stacked minor third lick thing...

Ed, do you actually do those lines in the last measure using 4 finger technique (no sliding or tapping)? If so WHOA MAMA... that'll be tough to do accurately at a nice tempo.

None of my friends do 4 notes per string runs (picked and legato) using 4 fingers. They say that I'm a freak because I do it. Yes, it's hard to get good timing in the beginning but you get comfortable with them at some point.

Sure am...bu then again I got huge mitts.

Seems to work well enough for Brett Garsed.

 

[Robotechnology]

You tap some of that with more than one finger? I was tinkering around with it and only used one right finger on the last section. On all of the other parts I just used my left hand.

If you're talking about Ed's example... there is no tapping

I have decent four finger technique but, I've never tried 1&1/2 step and/or 2 step intervals in BETWEEN 2 of the four fingers! Going to try it tomorrow, wish me luck

Alternatively tap the last note or slide from the first into the second.

Ed... I know, but no pain, no gain

Just tried it a bit... 2nd string is simple, 1st is doable, & 3rd/4th strings are impossible without practice. You suck

Thanks for putting one up that I can handle finally
