Sweep Picking I'll just show you how it is done on a scale. It takes practice to develop speed with this, but this is the fastest way to pick once you get accustomed to it. This technique is similar to alternate picking which you alternate upstroke and downstroke on each note. http://www.guitarlessonworld.com/lessons/flatpicking.htm?content=lessons/lesson8

Play The 7 Modes in 7 Days (Tabs Incl.) | GuitarHabits.com

When I first got introduced to modes I was a little bit overwhelmed, but also excited to explore this whole new world of boundless possibilities. E.g.: The Dorian mode starts on the second degree of the major scale all the way up to an octave higher, the Phrygian mode starts on the third degree of the major scale up to an octave higher, the Lydian mode starts on the fourth degree of the major scale up to an octave higher and so on.

When I practice improvising I always first pour myself a cup of green tea, I put on some folk music (e.g. Ray La Montagne, Damien Rice, Stephen Fretwell, Glen Hansard, Sheryl Crow, etc.) on Last.fm or Spotify.com and then I start to improvise over these songs. I get totally caught up in the moment and let my fingers carry me away. Other times I practice melodic patterns, triads, arpeggios, licks, everything that will spice up my improvisation skills.

answer: In music, the notes are named after the letters of the alphabet. However, there are 26 alphabet letters, and in music there are only seven different basic notes to which we refer; therefore, music only uses the first 7 letters of the alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. 3. What is the Treble Clef? answer: The Treble Clef is a musical symbol used to indicate where G above Middle C is located. The rest of the notes on the staff are laid out around that G.
