Michael Brecker Chromatic Jazz Guitar Line Exercise

PLEASE: Watch video above for detailed analysis:

This Michael Brecker sax line is an excellent exercise for alternate picking guitar technique. The key is to accent the 1st and 3rd notes [Downstrokes] as this will keep the chromatic 4 note “Even” groupings smooth.
