Jack here jbf music and guitar lessons, what I’ve got for you here is an updated version on
how I think Paul Gilbert plays his famous pattern-
you can check out my interoperation of it from a few years back in that 4 minute video with
the little i. Tabs for that and this video are available through Patreon/com/jbfmusic
I’m breaking this down in to two halves. First half is groups of 5;
pick a word with 5 syllable to help with the timing ‘University’ is a common favourite.
Get your foot going at a steady pace, tap of clap
and say u-ni-ver-s-ity along with it. Ok? Now try that with this part of the lick.
Ok, now let’s do that with the next set of five notes;
u-ni-ver-s-ity. Alright, now back to back. And let’s loop that.
Now I’m gonna stick the click track on, I’ll play it, then stop, you play it back to me, ok?
If that was too fast, just adjust the speed with the settings cog.
The 2ns half, we’re in a more normal note grouping, which will
feel rushed in comparison to those tuplets, pentuplets, which ever you want to call them.
But it’s this rhythm.
See, feel quite jerky, eh? Again get your foot going, and commit hat to memory. The
final segment is triplets, like so.
Again, let’s get that in isolation. Ok?
Now, that second half back to back. Same idea as before I’ll play, then you play.
A quick recap of that first part. Now let’s put it all together.
And now that same idea I’ll go first, you play it back to me.
Alright, just you now! Make sure to start each of those sections on each beat.
