    Excerpt: This lick involves some Petrucci-esque pedal tone licks, and some Paul Gilbert-esque string skipping shapes. Really focus on your muting while doing the string skipping. The shapes are moving fast and there’s a lot of room for extra string noise.

    Excerpt: Here’s a little sweeping thing that I wrote a few years ago. I was very influenced by Jason Becker and Jeff Loomis at the time. The difficult part about this lick is how a few of the arpeggios descend three strings, then change positions and start descending again. Keep the strings muted pretty heavily to get a staccato sound.
