We will start with an Amaj7#11 Lydian Chord

Now we will connect 3rds with simple 2 finger and 1 finger fretting. We in turn create a superimposed arpeggio that is very easy to alternate pick with speed and precision.

Descending, we will land on either the G# [Maj7] or the F# [13th]

Now let’s look at Gmaj#11

We will now use our simple 3rds connecting superimposition technique and create an arpeggio ideal for alternate picking over this chord.

We will now take this further by sharpening the 5th and flattening the 9th with our simple fingering.

Glarry GTL Semi Hollow Guitar Review/Demo How it sounds, Quality of build
The “Glarry GTL Semi Hollow” guitar is a budget guitar aimed at beginners. It is also good for anyone interested in guitar “Modding” [Modifying]. It can be a hit or miss affair though as the Glarry shop is an online retailers and hence the guitars can’t be tried out as in a physical shop.
That being said, I actually had lots of fun playing my Glarry guitar. The action was low and great to play, although, I did have two strings the 1st and the 5th that had fret buzz.
After I had heightened the action slightly [On these two strings] the guitar played pretty well. The pickups are not the best but they seem to work well. The machine heads are basic but work. The body is really nice though and made of a very light bass wood that has been hollowed out with an “F Hole”‘

The neck is made of maple but completely unvarnished. This creates a satin like feel [But will get dirty over time]. There was also a blemish on the neck joint. The fingerboard was really nice and flat with 22 frets laid in very well with no noticeable sharp bits protruding out.
