Pentatonic Sequence 3

Course: Learn To Shred with Sam Bell

In this video

In this lesson we are looking at alternate picking and position shifting. The shorter drills can be played as speed bursts to help build up to the full example at the end of the lesson. This lesson makes for a great warmup exercise to get your hands working together before a session or a show.

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 lick 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!
