Dominant Scale Choices

Good stuff!..I've been working on and off with Don Mock's "melodic minor revealed" book..covers a lot of uses for that scale over functioning/non functioning dominant chords...
 
Its a pretty cool blog.

The Don Mock books are pretty good...I have a bunch of them but I jhaven't had the time to really get into them.

I did do something like this for Yngtchie a few weeks ago, too: [ame="http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5352"]Mark, ya gotta help me out here - The Forums at MarkWeinGuitarLessons.com[/ame]
 
That's fantastic! :love:..just the sort of info that I need...thanks!..I just posted my take on the "funk jam"..I have a lot of work to do. :embarrassed:

Edit: I stopped listening to your take on the Kotzen jam after a minute as it depressed the hell out of me. In a good way. Like I said...LOT of work to do :facepalm:

we all feel that way :grin:

I am mid-transition on my alternate picking technique right now and the thing that bugged the shit out of me on my take was my complete inability to play in the pocket...:mad:

What are you changing with your alternate picking?...over the years, mine seems to have changed from mostly elbow, to mostly wrist and recently more of a thumb/finger kind of push/pull movement.

I'm trying to get my wrist to move more effectively. Its really ben quite an effort :facepalm:

Mojo breaux :embarrassed:..I have years of bad habits that I'm trying to improve, mostly around alternate picking as well :facepalm:. On the jam track thing, I can hear where I keep switching between alternate/economy which would be fine if I couldn't hear it. :facepalm:..but alternate just sounds so much more articulate to me.

Its getting there, but I don't really have the practice time to make it happen as quickly as I'd like. I do work on it a little every day, though.
 
AH! :facepalm:...just been practicing..well doodling really :embarrassed:..and noticed that when I play 3 note per string runs..ascending...I always start with an upstroke..:facepalm:..and I think this is because I find it easier if my first "string cross" from say the low E to the A string uses "inside" picking..after that first cross..I alternate pick properly..so "outside" picking where required to keep it strictly alternate. Christ. :facepalm:

Back to the metronome. :(

I've always been a strict alternate picker but this really screwed me up:
