This months lesson, will feature segments from
"Guitar Lick of The Day", by Instructor Scott Morris.
This lesson will focus on the mode E Spanish Phrygian.
These are some great sounding exercises for a classical
guitar sound.They also have a good sound for players who
like the Rhoads, Malmsteen sound. I would recommend that
you try these exercises on an acoustic guitar, as well
as your favorite metal guitar, so you explore all of
the possibilities of acheiving your favorite sound.
Here are the segments from "Guitar Lick Of The Day"
Guitar Lick Of The Day / 8/26/2002
This is a lick from the classical scale E Spanish Phrygian.
I will be posting licks during the course of this week,
based on scales and the techniques that can be added. This
lick sounds good on acoustic, or electric (using distortion).
If you have a guitar that has a whammy bar, try adding a
whammy dive on the last note, the open E string.

Guitar Lick Of The Day / 8/27/2002
E Spanish Phrygian ...Continued
This lick can basically be referred to as a ladder riff.
This is commonly known as ascending in 3rds, which means
playing a scale from the first note to the 3rd note, and
so on. This exercise provides a very classical spanish
sound.

E Spanish Phrygian / Adding Trills
I have found the best way to increase speed on playing
trills in this mode, is to begin slowly learning first
which frets to play. The fingerings are the most valuable
tool for this lick. I recommend that you break away from
the one finger per fret rule, as when playing scales, and
use the index finger for the lead note, followed by the
middle finger.
