Gabriel Leopardi25th April 2013another great lesson for today.. it is true about practicing just a half hour a day each day is much better than a few hrs once a week too.. I am going to try to practice more thanks again! And save my book marks when my account runs out, I'll be back here soon thanks again.
Great! Let us know if you need some help.

- Gabriel Leopardi23rd March 2013Say can anyone explain specifically how to play that last note.. I mean I think I know it is just a kind of muted pick harmonic but Zack wild does this too in his no more tears lead somewhere.. just asking if there are extra pointers to doing it.. tia, great eric johnson tutorial style Muris
Hi mate! That's what we usually call "Pinched harmonic" or "Artificial harmonic" and it's generated by a combination of your pick and your thumb. You have to experiment angling your pick (to your left) to allow your thumb mute a bit the string just after you pick it. We have really good lessons based on this technique here. Please check these ones and let me know if you still need help.
This firt one is like a tutorial so you should start from here:

Marcus Siepen25th November 2008Great lesson Muris. Yesterday I saw a Bumblefoot video where he showed this technique and I thought I have to try this too, now I have another reason to try it
- Muris Varajic24th November 2008
It's just a matter of taste and I'm glad you liked
hybrid attempt,cheers. 
mhskeide24th November 2008Awesome lesson, love the last Eric Johnson lick:D
IMO I think it sounded better with hybrid picking instead of only alternative picking, and the last harmonic blew me away. Had to learn it:P- bosanac24th November 2008

Hello GMCers and welcome to Intermediate level from Hybrid Picking serial. Comparing with Beginner level, main difference is probably a bit faster licks but also use of ring finger, along with middle finger and the pick of course.
There is one very cool thing about Hybrid Picking, with less amount of gain or even better on clean sound, you can pop all the notes you're playing with your right hand fingers and get this kind of bass guitar effect. You probably won't be able to hear it a lot in this section but just a note to make you thinking. :)
So, it's in key of D minor, there are 2 scales involved, Dm scale and D Dorian, tempo is 148 bpm, 4/4 bar.
I used Korg Pandora PX4D for this lesson are here are the settings:
SGL > HUM 10.0
US HI-G Gain 4.0 Bass 2.0 Middle 0.7 Treble 5.0
JAZ 1x15 8.0
No Mod Effx
PPDLy3 5.3
PLATE 1 1.7
Have fun practicing and please ask if you need anything. :)
