This week I'm going to be sharing a lick by the shred god himself Steve Vai! It's features on his legendary song Tender Surrender!
(Note: This lesson does not teach how to run your hand through your hair, while ripping across the fretboard with the other hand... some things your born with)
I'll be teaching the guitar lick note for note and you'll see how Steve Vai turns a simple Major 7 Arpeggio idea into a killer guitar lick, by combining lighting fast legato with a clever use of rhythm.
Finally, I discuss how to apply this lick to your own improvising and how using the guitar lick in a other genres can open up a whole new range of playing possibilities!
This week's learning outcomes:
- Learn a new lick from legendary guitarist Steve Vai
- Develop your legato technique and knowledge of major 7 arpeggios
- Understand how technique and rhythm can be combined, to transform an ordinary arpeggio/scale into a killer lick!
