One of those random videos I was talking about: Here's a cool picking sequence I stumbled upon while practicing!

There's no full tab for this lesson, but I break it down and make it fairly simple to learn. Important: Make sure you memorize the scale shape before attempting the sequence. It will be a lot easier this way.

To show you a little of how the sequence goes, here's some tab for ya (Keys of G major & E minor):

(With a triplet feel in 8th notes)

E 8 7 5 5 | 7 5 5
B 8 7 8 7 5 8 | 8 7 5 7 | etc...
G 7

Remember to start and end the entire phrase with a downstroke. Use alternate picking for the rest of the notes.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Here's hoping you learn something new that will help you along your journey.
