INTERMEDIATELICKSEXAMPLE4 ALEX SKOLNICK

This G# Diminished lick features a descending, string skipped pedal tone sequence. This creates intervallic movement and interest while retaining the intensity of the Diminished tonality. Start the string skipped sequence with an upstroke, as your pick strokes will correspond with the direction of each string change. For this one, use your bridge pickup for aggression and note definition, set your gain to high, and add a subtle delay to bring greater size to your notes.
