Lick Of The Week #1 - E Phrygian Dominant Alternate Picking Lick

Here we have an alternate picking speed lick in the style of Yngwie Malmsteen. Everything in this lick is strict alternate picking. Quite simple to be honest. To build up speed, just practice the lick as slow as possible to a metronome. Once you get the lick down, it's insanely addictive to play, so have fun with it!

This lick is in the key of E Phrygian Dominant. One of the most popular scales used in metal and shred today. Often, it has found application in modern progressive rock/metal, having been utilized most notably by Yngwie Malmsteen. You can find a diagram below so you can learn this great scale and use it in your own playing!
