Yet an example of how just a few notes are made very cool thanks to the chicken picking (use of right hand fingers).

Time for some lightning fast arpeggios. The good thing about this fast passage is that the licks have the structure of exercises - they are just sixteenth notes (four notes per beat) played very eavenly. So hit the metronome and start ROCKING!

By the way, if you are not use to speed licks - don't even attempt to learn this without knowing the basics of speed, or you will just end up being disappointed.

As tasteful as Mark is, the solo is ended with some wisely chosen bends.

 

Good luck!
