Hi guys, it's Rick here. Hope you're all doing really good out there. I've started a new series here, kind of tying it in with my Instagram. If you guys follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I've started doing pretty much daily practice clips on there. But because there's a 15 second limit, it's obviously impossible to explain exactly what I'm doing. So I've kind of doing a lick on Instagram and then I'm going to play it again on YouTube and then explain exactly what I'm doing right now in this video. So I'm going to start a whole series of those. So make sure you're following me on Instagram. I'll leave a link in the description box below. So make sure you follow me. If you like any of the clips there, you can request that I do lessons on them. So leave a comment below. So let's take a look at the first lick. This is the kind of thing that I do all the time. I'm doing a lot of hybrid picking mixed with regard to stuff these days. So we're going to be doing a lot of these kind of licks. So let me show you exactly what's going on. We're in C sharp minor here. I'm going to start first fret minor pentatonic, but we're going to do some slightly wider interval stuff. And the first part of it goes. Okay, let me do that again. So usually the lower I'm just doing a down stroke and then the highest string I'm doing is a hybrid pick. Shift positions. Okay, here I'm going. Okay, slowly once more. A lot of this is hammering on from nowhere as well to get that kind of smooth sound using the neck pickup here as well. Okay, we're going to shift here to fret 16 of the A string and then we're going to play this a pedigio. Okay. Good, nice and slowly. All down strokes through ascending portion of it. Okay, then the rest of the pedigio we're going to do a hybrid pick in. So it's. Okay. Okay, so I'll do the whole link. And then repeat. And then the rest of it is just a bit of improvising. So that's the first link. Hope you enjoyed it.
