If you love Shawn Lane and Eric Johnson, you will certainly learn something from this lesson! This is a Shawn Lane/Eric Johnson pentatonic lesson that demonstrates a few different sequences.
I like to use different sequences such as groupings of fives, sixes and combine groupings such as fours, fives and sixes going either up or down the pentatonic scale. All these ideas use two notes per string. There are many other ways that you could play these phrases by using three notes per string and economy picking, but I demonstrate the most common ways in this video.
I failed to mention in the video that when going up the scale I use economy picking with hammer ons as this makes the groupings easier to play. When going down the scale, it is always alternate picking. I believe Shawn Lane may have used economy picking when going up the scale along with hammer ons. I know that going up all his notes were not picked but when going down they were. Accept when playing groupings of five.
Comment or contact me with any questions about the videos! I am not sure why they are separated in to 3 min parts, but they are. These are my first lesson videos, so I will probably do an updated one that gives a bit more info. I am using a Shawn Lane Vigier guitar.
Why is this guy wearing shades??? Who wears shades inside! Sorry, thought the sun might follow me inside and wanted to be prepared when it did… Yes I am blind… no my sences aren’t super or anything. You have seen way to many movies. Enjoy the lesson 🙂
