Lick of The Week 8 - Super Shred Lesson - Brian Auer

Today we have a super sick, super shred lick from the amazing, Brian Auer.
This lick is using what I like to call the "3 octave device" which basically means, you will play the same pattern but in 3 octaves. Giving it an illusion that it looks much harder than it actually is.
Guys who are notorious with creating insane 3 octave devices are Paul Gilbert, Reb Beach, Michael Romeo, Yngwie, Jason Becker, most of the Shrapnel catalog, and many other.
This lick is strict alternate picking and it is also a fantastic warm up and practice lick for this technique. Be sure to take it slow and build up to speed to get it super clean and sounding great.
This lick is in the key of B Phrygian Dominant
