Lick Of The Week #2 - Fives Pentatonic Hybrid Picking Eric Johnson Lick
Here is a cool concept for pentatonics called "Fives". What "Fives" defines is, we are going to be playing the run/lick in groups of 5 rather than 6, like most pentatonic licks are. This gives us that signature rolling/rapidfire sound you hear from players like Eric Johnson, Lincoln Brewster, and even sometimes Joe Satriani.
The hybrid picking for this lick is quite simple, all you need to really memorize is this - Every time we start a group of 5, we pluck that first note of the group with our finger. And the rest can be legato or picking. So every FIRST group note will be plucked with the finger(I use my middle finger).
