These exercises employ the A Harmonic Minor Scale. I use alternate picking guitar technique starting on a downstroke.
Exercise 1: Simple descending and ascending 2 finger harmonic minor scale. “Even” alternate picking pattern
Exercise 2: Wide interval 3 finger to the simple 2 finger descending Harmonic Minor Scale
Exercise 3: Moving from a 3 finger piece of scale mid strings out to the first string with a simple 2 finger scale approach. Mixing 2 and 3 finger alternate picking.
Harmonic Minor Scale PART 2: JOHN MCLAUGHLIN GUITAR TECHNIQUE:
Exercise 4: John Mclaughlin scale guitar fingering technique. This method again employs strict alternate picking starting on a down stroke. John Mclaughlin’s guitar fingering is unique in that you can play at very fast tempo’s alternate picking due to the simple fingering and the way it repetitively crosses the guitar strings .
