Pentatonic Sequence 2

This lesson uses a descending E minor pentatonic phrase to develop our combination picking technique. Combination picking uses hammer-ons and pull-offs combines with picking to allow us to achieve greater speed in our runs and licks. Sam has broken this down into smaller exercises to help build up to the full example.

How to make the most of this course

See below for the interactive TAB synced to video this exercise. Use this to help you master this phrase and build up your speed. Useful features of the interactive TAB player include:

• Slow down the lick to see how it's played
• Loop a section to focus on that part before moving on to the next section
• Activate the 'fretboard visualisation', which shows which note is being played as well as which shapes are being used, all in real time
• See the TAB brought to life as the player syncs to the video in real time!
