Hey there guys it's Rick here, hope you're all doing extremely well out there. I know, I am. Hope you enjoyed that video at the start of this video. That's an old lick that I did. I think it was around 2014, early 2014. And I'm continuing this series that I started. The last video uploaded proper video was back in at the end of January. And I think it was entitled, can I still play my old lick? Something along those lines. And I thought that would make a great ongoing series to just go back and see if I could play some of my old licks and some of them are quite challenging. But anyway I hope you enjoyed that video. So what I'm going to do is exactly the same that I did in the previous video. If you haven't checked the first one I don't make sure you check it out after you've washed this of course. And what I'm going to do is literally, I have listened to it a few times before I've pressed the record button on the camera this afternoon. But I haven't actually sat down and worked it out. So I just want to show you exactly how I would approach this. Obviously, if I'm working on it to redo it, I'm going to sit down and work it out really, really slowly. But this gives you a kind of glimpse into how I would approach it. And some of the observations that I make as I go along. Anyway I'm babbling, I'm digressing as I always do. But it's really great to be back doing these videos. So I'll shut up and let's get on with it. So we start, it's in the key of G. That pattern is very, really easy for me to go straight back to that because that back in those days and I'll certainly still do it now. So pattern that I used to use all the time. So I know that that's what I'm doing there. So what I've got to do is follow the next part. Ah, that was it, that's it. So I'm pulling off and then hammering on. Okay, so that theme, it's not really a theme, it's just a little motif there is used throughout and it's just literally a series of chords that descend. So yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's the top bit. That's quite challenging actually. Whoops, bullets. Yeah, there we go, that's it. This is standard with my kind of the techniques and patterns that I use, especially that descending groups of four. Oh, damn, that's a bit awkward. I've had a bit of a break from playing so my hands aren't feeling particularly comfortable at the moment doing this. That's it, this is all hybrid and usually with hybrid picking what I do is a downstroke followed by the middle finger, the hybrid. Yeah, so that was basically, how would you call it? It's got major seven groups, third, fifth, sixth, then groups. It's kind of like a major 13, I guess. Now this one here, I would advise you to get if you're finding it awkward to get stretched to just bring the thumb down a little bit just to give you that to help you with that extension there. And we move down to here, that's it and then we're going to play a dominant seventh arpeggio, so G7, so we're flooding back to move. Yeah, excellent. So like I said before, once you've got the first pattern, you apply that to the next chord. I usually do that all the time with arpeggio patterns. So once we've got that and makes it a lot easier to work out the next part. So I know straight away, this is a minus seven, G minus seven. Well that's a hell of a lot more awkward. I've got a bit of a tendency now. To use one two and three instead of one three and four for those kind of things or one two and four because my playing's changed since 2014, so but you know the fingering, it's something that's very personal. It is, it's personal. So you know it's okay for you to evolve and change your fingerings over time. In fact, I advise you to do that because it, it you know, really helps you to develop as a player and you know to build your sort of techniques, you know. So G minus seven. That's quite challenging, but that part of it here. I remember as well like I say before, starting off with a thumb a little bit higher up and going for the extension, just moving the thumb down slightly. So, whoops that was a bit too open to top. Whoops. Now we move down to this position, yeah. Yeah I do these all the time with the dominant seven for pedios. So we've got a dominant seventh in second inversion. So what we've got here, it's sorry, A seven. Where were we? Need to work on that bit here a bit, a little bit more. It's amazing how when you go back to some of the elixis, for me it's certainly for me it's not just instant, I have to because my playing's changed, you know, I have to sort of re-evaluate what I did before to what I do now. So it's really important to sit down and work on these kind of things. So that's what I would do, but this is a video just to give you an idea of what I would do. Ah, that's what I would do before with the third and fourth finger here. Yeah, absolutely that flows a little bit more, but now there I would use descending that and so ignoring the little finger altogether. Still love you though mate. And then we do the exactly the same thing, but we're in F now, so we've just moved down a tone, modulated, a tone below us, so. There we go. That's minus seven. What did I do here? My usual thing. Something along those lines. So that's like a common little descending pattern that I've been doing for quite some time. What is it? Something like that. So, shall we give it a go nice and steady? So we're in G again. So I'm trying to go too fast. Fuck it. Yeah, I won't do it all. Yeah, so instead of actually doing it all, what I would do is practice it more really slowly so that I can get those shapes down before I actually take it up to tempo. That's probably not a good idea to do that. Especially as I'm changing fingerings now to what it was before. So hopefully this has given you some bit of an insight to kind of how I approach relearning the licks and patterns that I do. So this is part two. Look out for part three coming soon. I've got videos ready to get back to it. Also check out my website, 50% off link in description box below. Best ways to support me. All right guys, great to see you again and I will see you soon. Cheers.
