Putting It All Together...

In this section, George shows us more of what goes on in his playing style based on the previous examples. Figure 18 is a simple classical-sounding tapping lick in A natural minor. Though it's a recurring pattern, it's challenging to try this run without tapping. But when tapping it all out, George shows how he mutes the unplayed strings in photo D.

Figure 19 is a variation of figure 18, using pedal tones--F in the first bar, E in the second. |

Wide stretches and string skipping using left hand hammer-ons is what figure 20 is all about. As George describes, "This run has a definite Eastern feel to it. It's based on the fith mode of the E harmonic minor scale (B, C, D#, E, F#, G, A). This Kind of lick sounds great over a B chord in the key of E minor and it's not as difficult as it looks." |
