Learned a nifty diminished riff for a student last night

Some of this vid I would consider NSFW. So, you can go right to the lick @ 3:39

Not mthe style of music you'd ever catch me listening to, but the lick is worth a peek.

 

Yep, I'm aware of the music genre, yep it's basic Minor 3rd movements...that's why it's a diminished move, yep, it's drop C, yep, its pop metal, yep, etc...just try the lick. I didn't have to learn the chords or the rest of the solo as the student had all of that down solid, he just need clarification on this one lick.

 

(Tabbed from memory)

 

I think of it as one phrase repeated once. Each phrase includes the string skipping lick played twice and the next lick played once up a min3rds on adjacent strings, then the same phrase is repeated but just moved up min3rds.

 

 

 

Have fun working it to speed.
