This is a modification of a lick from the Guitar Dojo that I really like. It's a bit harder than it looks due to the position shift, but if you can get it fast it sounds like greased lightning!
Play it with picking and as all legato. Have fun!!

357 stretch! >.<
*shoots himself*

My pinky ain't that long but luckily my hand is wide. Should be tricky enough on a long scale Fender Strat.
Davey, try it on a Fender Jaguar.

C'mon, this isn't that difficult!!
-
i know.. i'm exagerating.
the jaguar is what.. 24" ?
-
what speed would be thought of as respectable for this?
-
It's in quavers so 150+?
-

Whatever speed you can play it cleanly and accurately. It really depends on what you are going for. For all out shred, look for tempos northwards of 160bpm.
-
So its just a G major scale repositioned down the neck then?
I've got the reach (7th stretches FTW!!) but I don't have the speed or accuracy for anything above like 45bpm :lol: .
Got any exercises that improve finger strength and/or picking speed?
-

Not quite.
It's just alot of 3rd stretches it seems.

You need your pinky for this one :?: :wink:

No it is a G major scale. The notes you are playing are in a G major scale: G-A-B-C-D-E-F#. Each 3-5-7 stretch (or equivalent) is a Major third, and the half step to the Perfect fourth occurs when you shift strings (so the third fret on the low E is down a P4 from the 3rd on the A string).
Each fret on a guitar is 1 half-step which is the same as saying a Minor second. So going up 2 frets is the same as a Major second, and a Major 3rd would be 4 frets. I'm not bombing or anything, but going up three frets is actually a major second and not a third.

thx for the cool idea :)

So if I get what you're saying:
1-3 = major 2nd
1-4= minor third
1-5 = major third
Thus me saying 3-7 is a third stretch is correct?
-
Wow Davey, you have little hands :P .... 3-10 here! :D
And it's totally irrelevant, I know...
but this is my 400th post!
WOOOOOOO!!!!! :D :D :D

Exactly.

Yes it is a major third. I was just saying that the scale is ascending in 3 fret intervals or major seconds. It just happens to be in the key of Gmajor. This lick actually is easier if you play the scale in a box postion because then it is only a 4 fret stretch!

But then you lose the whole point of the exercise!!
