    I have always been firmly convinced that the final note of this run was intended to be a pinched harmonic to end the riff an octave higher, thus completing the arpeggio-style run.

    ROBERT BAKER, Do a lesson on how Steve Vai and Joe Satriani use the lydian scale because they use a minor aeolian scale so many frets away from the root note of the chord but its a lydian mode. Instead of playing a lydian mode they use a minor aeolian scale just starting off I think on the lydian scale degree.

    That's so funny. I always played that as part pentatonic/part sweep skipping the 17th fret note on the B string. Not sure if I can go back and fix it after playing it that way about 5000 times trying to get the song up to speed. Makes more sense now....

  • @jordancarpenter676
    @jordancarpenter676 2 роки тому +2

    It’s a G6 arpeggio that resolves to e minor. I was taught a long time ago how cool it sounds to play the relative major arpeggio over the minor or vice versa for lots of purposes. If you play the major over the minor it implies a min7, if you use the minor over the major it implies the maj6 chord. It makes you sound magical for simply playing chord shapes you already know . I also enjoy using like Andy Timmons does a lot using the pentatonic of the 5th chord over the 1 to make a killer maj7 sound such as D pent over G.

    EJ uses down strokes where most players would do alternate. It's a really uncomfortable thing to get used to, but when you use down instead of alt, it hits the mark. Try replaying the lick and pick it using down strokes

    Awesome lesson, awesome tone! EJ does pick it all actually, combination of alternate and economy/sweep with his typical downward pick slanting. Down-Up-Down-Up on the A and D strings. down on the G string sweep to the B string, for a Down-Up on the B, then Down-Up down on the E string. Thats how to get this the most EJ fluid sounding (although I don't even think he does this anymore, he hammers on everything these days).
