This was a really nice lesson, Ben is a really good teacher too.
Since Neil usually gives us classes, we should give him a sweeping lesson

@sabbathielmike
1. Tune down the low E string (doesn’t really matter how much)
2. Turn on LOTS of gain
3. Constantly pick the low E, A, (and maybe D) strings behind the nut while you tune up the low E string again

@stalebread31 all the tabs are on the main site, but as bogik said, it’s basically a diminished arpeggio. they are symmetric, meaning you create one by moving up three frets at a time – that’s it. then you just place some of the notes on the next string and tap the top note etc.

Neal you guys should mention that your main website has a tab on almost each lick-lesson from the Guitartricks Channel. This makes it a lot more easier! I’m sure you will get a lot more subscribtions with it, because I always have the feeling most people don’t know that there also is an entire excellent website, because it is called Guitartricks, people may think it is only a bunch of tricks only on Youtube. Please reply !
