Shrediagonal - updated lesson with neck diagram built into the video

[Cobrango]

Hello everyone! first post on the new forum, yay. I've just updated my shrediagonal lesson with an added neck diagram, less need for tabs I've had a lot of comments and feedback on this one in different groups, people really seem to like the built in diagram - 4500 views in a week on facebook. the diagram is a bit shaky but this was my first attempt at doing something like this, I'll make sure to post diagrams in my videos in the future, I really the aestethics of it. in this lesson I'm shredding some diagonals using eqonomy picking, 3nps, Aeolian, Ionian, Phrygian and Mixolydian. It's 60 notes in total and 14 per mode. I think my speed and clarity is improving - as a fun fact I found that the lick in the end of the clip is 18 notes per second. I'm using Ibanez Guitars rg2228, DiMarzio PAF-8s, Axe-fx II, D'Addario Strings and Planet Waves .008 - .038 + .060 + .080. Jim Dunlop Guitar Products Tortex T3 0.60mm. (neck cam: galaxy s5 and gorilla grip)

Nice techique and very nice of you that you bother to share some of that with others. However, if you don't mind, I think you should put that into some context, like playing it over some suitable backround. It's a bit dry like this, don't understand it wrong. A solid background would emphasise your lick.

good idea, maybe I'll add that to the lessons aswell, examples in a musical context. Some of my lessons like this one is just about finding ways to connect the dots. I don't explain that in the lesson, but playing in a diagonal way like this really help you to get a better sense of how to connect the modes and how to see the whole neck as one scale instead of just one box starting from your index finger. I guess I could have said that as an introduction, hehe thank you for sharing your thoughts! it motivates me a lot!
