This may have been posted already but it a nice pentatonic pattern using legato.

**Movjam** · 08-05-2009, 02:20 PM

lmao, I shat bricks towards the end.

I love PG, I feel his licks have become so much better and a lot more complex on "Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar". Esepcially on "The Gargoyle". Excellent technicality.

On that note, anyone attempted to learn any of his stuff?

**LP36** · 08-05-2009, 02:26 PM

Anyone got any good clean sounding songs to play?

For instance,

A little Jimi:

Or some Yellow Ledbetter:

What are some of your favorite clean songs to play?

I started working on technical difficulties a little while ago. Haven't bothered trying to learn past the intro yet, though.

**LP36** · 08-05-2009, 04:31 PM

I listen to mostly Jimi and SRV, so any other bands would be appreciated

if you want acoustic, Andy Mckee is the man

edit: I'm listening to Stanley Jordan right now, I don't know how I forgot to mention him, even if you don't want to do to parts at once.

**An hero** · 08-06-2009, 10:07 PM

I'll just leave this here

**snwdevl10** · 08-08-2009, 04:21 PM

So guys, I'm learning this song now:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9to1auUNTk

but I can't get any volume out of the top three strings, especially compared to the bass. I can play it on my electric but it doesn't sound nearly as good as acoustic. Any tips to get more volume, except hit the strings harder? lol

**vin_nz** · 08-08-2009, 09:33 PM

practice makes perfect but you could try using a mic if its not an acoustic/electric guitar you are using. Notice how his mic is positioned

**Movjam** · 08-11-2009, 05:39 AM

Any of guys heard of the late Shawn Lane? Possibly the best guitarrist I've ever heard, in all respects:

**wickedsensation** · 08-11-2009, 01:53 PM

Yeah, Shawn Lane is one of my all-time favorites and biggest influences.

**ctgblue** · 08-17-2009, 12:07 PM

Hey CTGblue - what are your thought on shawn lanes power licks and solo's ebook?

the first few pentatonic exercises toyed with odd fingering avoid the pinky, i dunno how much good it will be. (you know all those 1-3 1-3 finger patterns used to play all pentatonic shapes?)

**ctgblue** · 08-19-2009, 12:32 PM

I'm converting the videos now, but he is a monster, he can stretch like malmsteen, especially for not having unusually long fingers
anything he talks about is amazing, but most people just cannot do these things, even with extraordinary practice and dedication
and he's so laid back about it, "here's some licks a 220bpm all over the fretboard" - "here's them slowed to 160bpm, see they're easy"

at one time, my band frontman compared me to him - having opened for BOA,
I though it was cool but had only heard his stuff from BOA,
now that I know his full stuff, I'm embarrassed to have been compared to him,
I was never in that league, not even close

Speaking of videos- where are yours? We all know you're the best...what's keeping you from proving it?
