This John Mclaughlin Jazz/Fusion guitar lesson employs alternate picking for solid rhythmic fluidity. I start on the down stroke with the guitar plectrum. The first part is simple Pentatonic scale cells.The second part uses scale fragments 4ths, and Arpeggios. The last part Uses 4ths and a Pentatonic Shape
ALTERNATE PICKING RHYTHMIC GUITAR SET-UP EMPLOYS THE 8TH NOTE AND TWO 16TH NOTES. THIS IS A USEFUL RHYTHM AS IT GIVES YOUR PICKING RIGHT HAND A MOMENT TO SET UP THE “UP STROKE” AND FIRE THE PHRASE FORWARD LEADING TO A SMOOTH ALTERNATE PICKING LICK/LINE.
The keys to start metronome practice. Hear the first Beat of the bar. Hear the difference between 8th notes and double timed 16th notes
