Gabriel Leopardi21st September 2020Yeah, the first link I've added was "private". Now it's fixed!
p8guitar21st September 2020?!?
ok, the neck pu... :-)
But something is weird with my firefox browser. Your link "here" is broken, and in your first answer I only see this: "Thanks! These are the ones that come from the factory. Guitar model is Fender Stratocaster Mexico Special Edition."
nevermind...- Gabriel Leopardi21st September 2020And would you tell which pickup you use (bridge, neck, bridge/neck), or is it your secret? :-)
hahah that's not my secret! I've answered your question HERE.
These are the ones that came from factory: Fender Player Series Stratocaster pickups single-coil neck/middle, bridge humbucker, 5-way switch. In this case I've used my neck pick up.
This is the exact model of my guitar: LINK. - p8guitar21st September 2020

Hi GMC!
Welcome to this new lesson! Here I'll share 5 dark blues rock licks inspired by Blues Saraceno, Jack Thammarat and Tyler Bryant.
In this new lesson you'll find 5 phrases that combine different techniques, patterns and concepts over the same chord progression (Dsus2 - Dm/F - Em7 - A). The style is blues rock, but the feel is a darker because of the slow tempo and minor key. The tonality is D minor, but the chord A appears as a variation that comes from D melodic or harmonic minor. The scales used are D blues, D minor, and D harmonic minor.
Each lick introduces a new important aspect of his playing:
Lick 1: Dark Blues Rock phrasing.
Lick 2: Staccato & rhythm.
Lick 3: Hybrid Picking patterns & fast legato pentatonic sequences.
Lick 4: Double stops & fast alternate picking pentatonic licks.
Lick 5: Phrasing & shredding.
If you enjoy this lesson, I recommend you to check Tyler and Jack’s improvisations, and Saraceno recent Dark Blues Country songs on Youtube.
Sound:
I used Fractal Ax8's Suhr Badger 30, Cubase 9.5 to record audio and midi, Groove Agent for drums and Native Instruments Halion for bass guitar.
