Thx, glad you like it. I love that lick and used to play it a lot when practising.
And it´s good to be back =)
Warm regards

Hey , no fair , that Riff was lifted off a Cacophony Album.

[EricV]

Well, I said so in the post, didn´t I ?

hey eric, what speed is the concerto lick actually in?

[EricV]

ABout 190 bpm for the dotted quarter note ( 12/8 time signature ), the lick is played in 8th notes. Actually, some of the rhythms in my transcription of this lick aren´t completely correct.
AFAIK, there´s a powertab of it somewhere out there which was pretty good... check www.powertabs.net

Okay , that's a cool Paganinni Riff, Thanks Eric.

Here's some George Lynch Riffing , dedicated to... this Forum

since were speeding things up a bit here..
there goes my next contribution. its my favorite wholetone lick with an E+ arp at the end. go for warp speed

Hey Phantom ,

That was pritty wild , it would be great if that riff cycled up the fret board , into a REALLY long Riff.

[EricV]

This is based on a pattern / shape / lick I heard Jason Becker do once... it´s some rather awkward left hand pattern, kinda like drawing triangles onto the fretboard...
I took that pattern and moved it up a scale... good exercise, you might consider it an etude.

Dunno whether I have posted this before at one of the other LRNR-threads, so here goes:

This is a string-skipping lick which is pretty much the same thing I play at the very beginning of the "Riders High" solo... in measure 2, tapped notes are added...
Hope you´ll like it

Finally, an excerpt from my newest tune, "Angel".
This is one overdub in the solo-section... harmoinized sweeping.
One guitar´s playing a G major arp, and then a C maj arp ( triad arps, with the top note being tapped ), while the other guitar plays a harmony...
I tried not to double too accurately, cuz it rather widens ( fattens up ) the sound if the two guitars are played slightly different...
Hope you dig that one... lemme know if you want a TAB.

hey spin, go ahead! the coolest thing with symmetrics is that you can cycle until u drop dead
btw. i tried to hang my guitar up between my chest and my belly.. even a bit higher.
i look like a dork right now but can shred like hell
but then again.. i saw becker havin his git really high too.. maybe i should keep it that way until someone takes a picture..haha

Yes. I know what you mean , i have that problem too.If i keep playing instrumental stuff, I'll look exactly like Paul McCartney ,in the early Beatles days, by next year.


Nice Riffs by Eric V. , i especially like the second one , with the finger stretch , i would probably break my hand in half , if i tryed that.God Bless

hey spin, if you like flashy stuff i'd like to know what you think about this http://www.chopsfromhell.com/guest_stichter2.html ?
i'd post the pt file but i deleted it somehow.
the tab looks more horrifying than it really is.

The description , sounds familiar to me,being as i call my own style of Metal, "Guitar Barf" , or" Science Fiction- Metal" when i'm writing with a "Meshugga" or "Fear Factory" influence.
The idea is to only use Locrian , Dim7, harmonic minor, and any sick Atonal pattern

This one seems to be a Tapped chromatic type pattern , i'm sure it sounds like, a computer Barfing out Data.

I'll have to try that .
