Eric Johnson usually employs hybrid picking to accocmplish a fast fluid pedal tone sound that fluently transitions between many different strings. The hybrid picking pattern that he uses is actually quite simple and straightforward and shouldn’t present much of a problem to get under your fingers.

Try and keep the note separation clean because letting two notes rings together will create a pretty dissonant and ugly sound, especially when using a high gain setting.

Eric Johnson Style Pedal Tones

This exciting technique is influenced by the baroque music of J.S. Bach and creates a very flowing guitar sound. The technique required to play this lick is pretty straightforward, it just may take a little while to get the coordination down with all the alternate picking across strings.

Start slow then work it up to speed just like you would with any other guitar lesson. Also, even though Yngwie usually plays this type of lick at extremely fast speeds, it also sounds quite beautiful when played slowly. So you should also experiment with it when playing melodic melodies in your improvisations.

Slippery Slides With Large Interval Skips – Lick Of The Week

The technique of playing octave harmonics is a pretty easy one to master and can greatly enhance the note range of your solos. You can reach all those extremely high notes that are well beyond a traditional fretted guitar’s range.

Mixing in harmonics within a solo can greatly enhance not only the guitar’s range, but it’s expressive capabilities as well. You can easily enhance a melody line by incorporating octave harmonics to play it within a solo.

Pay close attention to the right hand instructions you will see in this video guitar lesson. There is more than one way to perform octave harmonics in the right hand. However, generally speaking, if you have a pick in your hand most players would choose to use it to pluck the strings. Therefore, you would need to hold the pick between your middle finger and thumb since the index finger will be the one actually fingering the harmonic.

Hope you enjoy this lesson and please let me know about any other lessons you would like to see.

Take your time with the stretches, especially in the second half of the tune. Learn to adjust the pressure of the bar chord to be able to use as little pressure as possible in order for the notes to sound in the chord. As long as you are focused on minimal pressure it will eventually become second nature.

For the right hand, try and practice the arpeggio pattern by itself on open strings before adding the left hand. It is very important to get the prepared strokes down comfortably before putting the two hands together.

Have Fun with this beautiful piece!
