Great lesson Rob. Following up on Eamonn's comments. I am guessing you do not get too carried away playing strict scale patterns over chords, correct? Also, I am not sure how certain measures transition to the next chord. For example, for the G chord you end on A pullof to G then E to D then to Am. Is there any rhyme or reason in these transitions to get from one chord to the next? I understand how walk downs and walk ups kind of transition, but not seeing it here.

Awesome lesson, thanks! An example of how it works with a "real" chord progression would be a great addition. The same kind of lesson for other open chord keys like C and E would also be great.

That slide down to the D is fun to play

Really enjoyed this one… another light bulb moment.

Is it possible to do this in open G tuning.

Is there a reason not to use alternate picking on the quarter notes of the riffs?

I would recommend doing what is comfortable for you and whatever will set up the next note more efficiently. If a phrase has 8th or 16th notes in it, I will almost certainly play quarters with downstrokes. I also tend to use downstrokes when I want to place more emphasis on a note or when I am picking down the strings sequentially.

Oh, definitely, perhaps not these exact licks, but you could certainly make a similar routine.

Hi Rob. Just wondering again on this lesson, keys for moving from one chord to the next. Do you target root notes on the next chord, etc?

Thanks for this lesson. Nice tune and several skills rolled up in a short lesson.

Hi Rob, You asked what other song uses this technique.. How about the guitar solo in Take It Easy by The Eagles??
