I hope you're all doing extremely well out there. I know I am. Hope you enjoyed that little video at the start of this video. That's going to be the subject of today's little lesson. I uploaded that video onto my Instagram page yesterday. And at a few people inquiring as to whether I would make a YouTube video. Hence, this video I am going to go into a little bit more depth with how I approach a sequence like that. Firstly, though, for one, make sure you subscribe to my or follow me on Instagram, rather. And for two, check out my website. It's currently 30% off all downloads. Use the code RGSave30 at checkout. It's a great way to support what I do. Okay, let's get straight into this sequence. The first thing of note is that when I'm practicing anything like this, I've been working on Lugato a lot recently. So what I usually do when I'm doing a sequence like this is I turn the reverb off and the delay off if I'm using any at all. So I've got a dry tone here. Okay. So it really forces me to be ultra accurate with finger placement and tone and everything. So that's what I like to do. You don't have to do what I do, but I'm just sharing that with you. Okay, so with this sequence, it's nothing too outlandish basically. We've just got an A minor pentatonic sequence with a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 notes per string. So with this particular sequence, it goes in this order starting on the D string. It goes 2, 3, 1, 3. And that stays consistent as we move through each position. Okay. So let's do it nice and slowly. We're really after controlling everything. Making sure the finger placement is good. We're controlling the dynamics. We're making sure we're muting correctly so there's no extra in this noise going on. Okay. Also, I like to play it nice and steady, nice and slow. Okay, let's take the first part. We're going to start fret 5. Okay, so it's basically following that shape. Okay. So here's the first bit. Oh, I forgot to mention I'm doing this all left hand only. So a mixture of hammers and pull-offs. So no picking, okay. And you want continuing on. And then slide into the next position on the last note. So once more. Now once we've got that sequence, all we do is move into the next position and apply the same sequence of notes. That's it. We're just moving it throughout each position. Okay. So that's our first shape. So we've now moved up to fret 7. We can follow that sequence of 2, 3, 1, 3, numbers of notes per string with the same pattern. So. Slide. And again. Okay, excellent. It gets a bit awkward when you're doing the left hand hammers from nowhere when crossing strings, especially with these weaker fingers, 4 and 3. It can be a real pain in the ass. But you've just got to stick with it and just keep practicing it. So we're now into this position. So third position. So it's shape rather. Again, keeping things nice and clean. We don't have to slam the hell out of the strings either. Just a light touch will yield a wonderful sounding note. So again, it's up to you. Some people play heavy-handedly when that works for them. But I don't like to induce too much tension into my playing. So I like to keep things nice and light. It's kind of like a compromise, a balance between a light touch, but getting the best out of the note. So sliding up from 10 to 12. Okay. One small. Let's do that one small. And then we're onto the last shape. Well, I think he's still has shape anyway. So. One small. Notice I've changed the fingering there. I crossed these three strings with 431. The second time I did that, I did 421. It's a good idea to be consistent with the fingering you choose. you know if you chop and change in between then you guarantee that you're going to fluff it at some point so you know it's a good idea to just pick a fingering stick with it. If you need to change it later on down the line then you can do boil means you can do it. But try and avoid doing what I just did then then the final shape here. Okay that's the thing in its entirety. So again what I would advise you to do is just if you want to do it take the reverb off the delay off just keep things nice and clear nice and clean. Keep things nice and slow and try and relax as much as possible concentrate and good finger placement make sure that your muting technique is up to scratch as well because it's going to sound a complete mess you know this is why I like to take the reverb and delay off. I also use a fair amount of gain as well because if you can control if you're using a fair amount of gain but you can control everything and make it sound clean no that's a really really great thing great skill to have. So anyway I hope that's helped you and just take it nice and steady and everything will be okay. Alright anyway thanks a lot for checking in guys and I will see you in the next video. Cheers!
