Guitar Lick of the Day
Download this lesson here:

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.

DAY 2
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.

DAY 3
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.
