Hey guys!!! I love nabbing ideas from my favorite Instagram follows, and the other day Phil X posted something i immediately knew i HAD to steal and incorporate into my own playing! Ever since i started doing this idea, it has been ALL OVER my playing! There's so much you can do with it, pentatonic or otherwise. Try it out, you're gonna rip it FAST! 

I'll be posting up the bonus lesson here soon, so stay tuned! Cheers, y'all!

Sick deals on all kinds of good stuff: https://imp.i114863.net/jxdA0 Hey guys! The other day, i was scrolling Instagram when i came across a post by @philx1111 , in which he casually dropped a phrasing concept that i've been sneaking into my pentatonic shred licks ever since i saw it! This easy to play note sequence can turn anyone's tired pentatonic licks into scalding hot shredders in no time, you've gotta learn it!!! I'll show you the idea, and how to get the most out of it and start coming up with your own licks using it. After all, every artist is a gifted thief, right? We all have to learn how to repurpose licks we hear other players use! Playing my new @Balaguer Guitars Diablo into the Fractal Axe FX 3. Who are your favorite players to follow on Instagram?! Let me know in the comments!

I found a similar lick several years ago on a Cole Rolland video that stretched the pinkie finger to that next pentatonic note, which opened up this same idea to me and also in reality got me to be able to make that stretch which I couldn't previously do. Definitely opens up a whole new world. I'm still having some trouble on the A and D strings with the "root"-2-5's between the stretch and any speed. But like you say, you can incorporate this everywhere. Excellent lesson as always!
