Heres a great excercise that will help you in creating weird sounding note groupings that are placed across the barline which sound awesome too.
All I am doing here is first playing 2 quavers followed by a quaver rest, then repeating, this is a group of three quavers, and so is a 3 over 4 feel. I am just adding one quaver note each time and splitting the notes with just 1 quaver rest.
It is a very important skill to be able to feel the beats going by whilst playing in an odd grouping.
The notation on the video only shows the rhythm of a continuing grouping, and is not directly what i am playing.

My name is Eddie Carlson, and this is the first violin cover of Eric Johnson’s epic “Cliffs of Dover.” I hope you enjoy my performance.

I am playing a Yamaha SV-200 through a Boss ME-50 effects pedal.

The audio/video sync is a little off…I think it just has something to do with being uploaded to youtube because there’s no similar latency when the actual video file plays on my computer. Oh well.

I don’t have the sheet music for this song, so I can’t send it to you - sorry. Check out the guitar tabs, they’re posted online everywhere.

Don’t play safe!!

It’s Picking time!

Hi guitar lovers and manics!
This video is me going crazy with my John Petrucci Ibanez guitar.
Everything is improvised and played as free as possible.
Hope you have some fun with this no commercial guitar video.
Play all day!

Dedicate your life to the electric guitar!!

Normally i’m more of a legatoplayer but
at this day i was out of control:
I want to point out that i’m not interested to play the fastest guitar on these planet-Shawn Lane R.i.P.
i grew up with players like Paul Gilbert,Yngwie,John Petrucci,Al di Meola
Thanks to all of them for there musical
inspiration.
(I know some of you won’t even call this music just exercises but for me it’s not.
While I’m playing guitar it’s like a rush.Everything just comes naturally.
so relax and get to a new level of expression.

Music is always about joy and passion
not competition!

If you love guitars add me as a friend!
Please rate and comment. i will go back to your channel soon.

Ok this video is about passion.
Passion about the guitar and just go for it.
This video is Part of three videos.
Here is the topic: speedpicking
So please also watch:
Melodic control
Laid back in a Petrucci mood
Those videos are much more melodic.

I’m a professional guitar teacher in Germany
and as you see all i want to do is playing the guitar.
cheers Volker

Here is just a little holiday melodic
shred video.
This time it’s a mix of improvised guitar solos, my own melodies and some famous Rock-Riffs
Thanks for all your support!!
Please rate and comment or send the video around
Have fun!

Intro
Little sweepings and then a cool melody
from Steve Morse and the Dregs
I’m a big Steve Morse Fan. He is one of the best..

Melodic chapter 1:
One of my melodic moments..
Totally improvised…

Interlude: Riff from Rainbow
Since you’ve been gone
(Richie Blackmore was one of my first
guitar heroes when i was 9 years old..

Chapter 2:
Jamming on an Ibanez Joe Satriani guitar
so i play in the style of????

Well i’m really into playing legato.
I always loved that sound and there is no end for learning

Melodic chapter 3.
Just some nice melodic playing
Here are 3 different melodies.

The second part is in the original much long.Here i use a smooth guitar sound from the vg 88 from Roland

The last solo was a first take so it’s pretty dirty but i decided to leave the mistakes.
in fact i don’t care about it.I just want to play..

Chapter 4.
Just some crazy runs.
So much fun….
First some more melodic stuff
then more chromatic runs maybe in the style of Joey Tafolla or John Petrucci
at the end some scary strech licks.
Maybe some Michael Angelo influence there..

(I could do this the whole day but it would be difficult to pay my flat…)

At the end a cool rock riff from
Def Leppard.
Just to relax and have a nice ending..
(Phil Collen plays a really nice Jackson
signature guitar …

cheers and happy holidays.
I have now a 2 weeks dayoff and will play like crazy.
you too?
I hope so.
Volker
