Hey kids! Its a brand new installment of Weekend Wankshop with your good buddy, Uncle Ben Eller!
Ever wondered how Paul Gilbert plays so clean and fast?! The secret is, its not ALWAYS his alternate picking powers you're hearing... its his brilliant combination of lightning fast picking combined with strategically-placed legato for a shred bonanza!! And you're about to learn exactly how he does it!
This lick uses his signature trick combined with the A minor scale; it starts off across the bottom two strings (ala Technical Difficulties by Racer X), then ascends up a big 3 note per string scale pattern. Its surprisingly easy and sounds SICK!
In this lesson, you're gonna learn the secret sequence he uses a lot, a super cool lick to help you practice it, plus all the Troy Grady/Cracking the Code downward and upward pick slanting benefits you're gonna practice as you learn it, plus a bunch of other tips and tricks to help you shred HARD today!
Playing my Suhr Modern Satin into the Fractal Axe FX III. Lovely rig.
