So you want to play a BLINDINGLY fast arpeggio like Gainfrea

Thanks Ralph! Hardest part to that one is getting the 18th & 19th fret hammer ons from nowhere to sound correctly on the 1st string... I'll figure out a good way to do that

Here's one I just came up with while in between working on some shapes Rob Balducci showed me... nice and melodic the way I like it. I prefer the rhythm found in the second bar:

I love those Patato Head Groove arps. Nice stretch to them. We play that tune in our set and its fun as hell.
I do it something like this.

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.

Terry taught me a VERY basic 4 note per string legato line using the B and E strings....

B.....10-12-13-15
E......12-14-15-17-15-14-12
B......15-13-12-10

Very basic for you guys but for guys like me geting started decending is so freaking hard.

Man some of you guys are sick players, myself I have come to grips that I will never be at this level.
