3 alternate picking jazz fusion guitar licks

Please watch video above for detailed analysis:

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:

Guitar Line 2: This line starts with an Up-Beat but because there is an “Even” grouping of notes it starts on a “Down Stroke”.

Guitar Line 3: This line is just a simple 2 bar line with no upbeat. Strict alternate picking starting on a “Down stroke”.

Jazz/Fusion quick ii V7 I altered improvised lick lesson

Please watch video above for detailed analysis:

Hi Guys,

Just a short ii V7 I alternate picking guitar lick. [This starts on a down stroke]

The chords are altered:

So, for chord ii Bm we replace it with B augmented with a sharpened 9th. This in turn gives us the Major 3rd and the minor 3rd and so we can apply a simple B minor scale.

Also, notice that I have placed accents on the 3rd note of each 4 note grouping. Accenting like this will help to keep the rhythm in tight tetrachords [4 note] groupings.
