Lick of The Week #4 - C Dorian Fusion Lick - Joe Marro
Here is our first guest lesson from the one and only, Joe Marro!
This lick is definitely not your typical lick. If you are a fan of Satriani and Vai, you may not be used to this type of thing.
The lick is mainly legato and is a fantastic workout for said technique. You can also incorporate techniques such as hybrid picking into this type of lick.
If you aren't a fusion player and don't think you'll be needing an 'outside' run for your music, at least learn it, and use it as an exercise. I(Eric) am not a fusion player by any means but, practicing this lick has definitely improved my legato. So hopefully it will do the same for you!
