0:04:29.672,0:04:31.802 which is quite a long lick really. 0:04:31.802,0:04:35.502 So the first thing you wanna do is,[br]try and break it down into little chunks. 0:04:35.502,0:04:39.165 A really good one to muck around with[br]is kind of like the middle of this lick, 0:04:39.165,0:04:42.111 where you've got one note picked[br]on one string, I'm gonna do it 0:04:42.111,0:04:43.701 on the

and it's really, this lick is kind of[br]using that idea. 0:05:08.635,0:05:11.765 So, the first trick you might [br]wanna do is extract it, 0:05:11.765,0:05:13.525 break the lick into little chunks, 0:05:13.525,0:05:17.155 and see how many of the little chunks[br]you can reapply in other circumstances. 0:05:17.207,0:05:18.587 The other thing you can do is 0:05:18.587,0:05:20.777 try moving the lick to [br]other parts of the neck 0:05:20.777,0:05:23.678 and keeping the pattern of[br]flick-offs and hammer-ons 0:05:23.678,0:05:25.779 and what strings some notes[br]are picked on. 0:05:25.779,0:05:27.879 It's kind of complicated to[br]explain that one, 0:05:27.879,0:05:31.259 but those of you that are up for doing[br]that will understand what I mean. 0:05:31.259,0:05:34.539 See if you can move the shape of the [br]lick to other parts of the neck. 0:05:34.539,0:05:36.399 That's a good trick to try out as well. 0:05:36.399,0:05:37.809 So, uh, have fun with that.
