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”.
