This one is just for fun ( . . or so I thought!)
until after practicing it for a while. I was playing a
gig with a few really hot blues players when after loosening
up enough I threw a few in to my solos without really thinking
about it. It blew me away how good it sounded to use this
lick before going to a long sustained note or just a slower
run. It was good enough to catch the appreciation of the
other players I was working with. I know these guys.
If they don't like something they're nice enough to keep their
mouths shut and they'd never compliment you if they didn't mean
it.
Try this out yourself but give it some time.
This type of lick doesn't come over night (at least for me!)
Work it hard but slowly until you can get a smooth sound out
of it. I just hope that you enjoy this sound as much as
I have!
DIRECTIONS: The
III Position C Major Hy-peggio
Start by placing your 1st finger (left hand) on the
3rd fret of the 6th string. Pick that note, hammer on the 2nd
note at the 8th fret with your 4th finger. Sweep the pick across
the neck for the notes on the 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st string.
Hammer on the second note of the first string at the 8th fret
and tap the highest note on the first string at the 12th fret
with one of the fingers of the right hand.
Return by pulling off the tapped note, then the middle
note on the first string to the lowest note on the first string,
reverse sweep across the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th string. Pull
off to the lowest note on the 6th string at the third fret.

AND "T" MEANS TAP.
Below is the hy-peggio written in what I call "cyber-tab"
which is tablature as seen on cyber space.

Make sure to sweep the pick properly while using this arpeggio.
If you need to, look up "hammer-on/pull-offs",
"tapping"
and "sweeping"
before doing this exercise. A few minutes of study can save
you a lot of grief on this, one of the harder arpeggios!
