Hi Guys,

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.

Here is the full improvised guitar line:

Alternate Picking Guitar Exercise [4 Positions] Guitar Lesson

Please watch video above for a detailed analysis:

Hi Guys,

Today we will look at an exercise for connecting scales in 4 positions along the fingerboard with alternate picking.
