There’s a million things you can learn from a master like Lord Joe Satriani… but let’s just start with legato and pick tapping, shall we?
You’ve probably heard how Joe has a really cool approach to legato. The way he does a fast flurry, holds on certain notes for a bit and then repeats the flurry. Well, this is easy enough to do once I break it down and show it to you
And the beauty of this exercise is that you get to use the G Phrygian Dominant mode… yeah, that’s right, we’re going to take a break from the Pentatonic box shapes that are so common amongst guitar players, and we’re gonna go exotic!
This means there’s some interesting finger patterns to get to grips with. So prepare for your fingers, and your legato, to get an upgrade
But that’s not all. An easy way to get fast flurries of notes with minimal energy is to deploy pick tapping – tapping with the edge of the pick. And when you combine it with a simple fretting hand pull-off pattern, you get instant access to 1987-certified killer shred sounds!
Episode 28 of The Complete Guitarist is an alien you definitely wanna surf with!
