Short Alternate Picking [Jazz/Fusion] Style 140 Bpm Exercise
Hi Guys,
Today, just a short alternate picking ascending and descending Exercise/lick.
This employs simplified fretboard fingering for quick, clean picking and fretting. This is essential for jazz/fusion tempo’s and also world music.
When adding the simple fingering outlined in the video above and accenting the 1st and 3rd notes in each four note grouping the rhythm and momentum will move forward naturally.
Accents on the 3rd note keep the fingering secure, the picking rhythmical and makes sure each group of four is completed properly.
Today we have 3 mid tempo 130-150 Bpm alternate picking jazz fusion cadence guitar lines.
They all employ the same principles of barring, a bit of scale and arpeggio.
This first line starts on an “Upstroke” alternate picking on the up beat. This in turn will let us start on the beat with a down stroke on the first beat of the next bar alternate picking.
