In the past months I have worked on my speed picking technique to increase my soloing tool box and to spice up my lead parts with some faster runs. But there is still a long way to go for me until I will be satisfied with the level and to execute it adequate on gigs.
I therefore have programmed a Jazz-Rock Fusion type backing track with my “band-in-the-box” software to practice 3-notes per string speed picking licks.
I am by far more a Blues Rock player rather than a shredder. But it generates an additional level of dynamic when throwing in some faster licks in between.
With the exception of the melody line, the guitar recording is completely improvised and recorded in one take and therefore “spiced up” with some minor errors :laughing7:
I have recorded the guitar part with my Warmoth (H-S-H) build. This is by far the most versatile and best sounding guitar I have ever owned.
I have used my Line6 POD HD500 modeler with the Marshall Plexi Lead Full Amp model. In front of the amp model I have included the Blue Comp Treble compressor and the Jumbo Fuzz distortion pedal in the signal chain. I love this amp model: very versatile and it reacts nicely on picking dynamics. I consider this as one of the best amps models in the POD HD.
After the amp model I have used the Dimension chorus to get a nice and smooth guitar tone. Reverb and Stereo Delay was mixed with the Cubase Artist 7.0 recording software. The POD HD500 modeler was connected via XLRs to a TASCAM audio interface.
In the YouTube info section you can find the chord progression and some scale suggestions for improvisation. For those who like the backing track to play along: there is also a link to download it in the YouTube info section.

Let me know what you think about it. Thanks for watching!
