Any chance someone has time to put this into songster or soundslice? Lol

Gonna try to ear it out first but would be nice to have a solid tab reference

Is this dude still in BDM?

If you try earing it out and get stuck, I can give it a stab!

If you get stuck I can help too. It’s a fairly sequenced lick, so it shouldn’t be too hard to flesh out.

Will try again this afternoon. As someone who’s been doing more arpeggio workouts and always comes back to pentatonic ideas I really like his playing style. Pretty sure he doesn’t alternate pick everything either

Ok my tactics for something very hard that youtube slowdown distorts too much. I use an app on my phone music speed changer, but I think more do it than this one. I rip the youtube to mp3, or mp4 if the guitar is shown cleanly. If mp4 I use the app VLC to slow it down on my phone. If mp3 I use music speed changer. If the speed is still to fast, and the phrase is played clean enough. I loop an AB section around the lick, play the loop, then I go into the audio recorder section of music speed changer. As the looped lick is playing at around 50% speed, I record it again to further slow it down from the audio recording. It is a bit of a trick I figured out when I got really frustrated. Hope it helps ya.

Here you go. It is very similar to Eric Johnsons fives pattern.

Good job @Spooky_tom !
I got close, I recognised the fives but I got lost when he moved the position up. The start is similar to the PG technical difficulties lick.

Now the next challenge is to play it as fast as him !
