This
months lesson, will feature segments from "Guitar
Lick of The Day", by Instructor Scott Morris.This lesson
will focus on the mode E Spanish Phrygian. These are some great sounding
exercises for a classical guitar sound.They also have a good sound for
players who like the Rhoads, Malmsteen sound. I would recommend that you
try these exercises on an acoustic guitar, as well as your favorite metal
guitar, so you explore all of the possibilities of acheiving your favorite
sound. Here are the segments from "Guitar
Lick Of The Day"
DAY
1
This is a lick from the classical scale E
Spanish Phrygian. I will be posting licks during the course
of this week, based on scales and the techniques that can be added. This
lick sounds good on acoustic, or electric (using distortion). If you have
a guitar that has a whammy bar, try adding a
whammy dive on the last note, the open E string.

E Spanish Phrygian ...Continued
This lick can basically be referred to as a ladder riff. This is commonly
known as ascending in 3rds, which means playing a scale from the first
note to the 3rd note, and so on. This exercise provides a very classical
spanish sound.

E Spanish Phrygian - Adding Trills
I have found the best way to increase speed on playing trills in this
mode, is to begin slowly learning first which frets to play. The fingerings
are the most valuable tool for this lick. I recommend that you break away
from the one finger per fret rule, as when playing scales, and use the
index finger for the lead note, followed by the middle finger.

E Spanish Phrygian - The Total Run
This lick will bring you a very spanish (classical)
sound. It sounds good on acoustic guitar or cranked up loud with distortion,
using the whammy dive at the end.
