In a previous post, Klaus had asked about raising strings one and seven by a half-tone.

Here is 'brisklick' example of using that particular raise on string one.

Click here to hear> Brisklick.

Playing these 'descending diatonic half-scales' goes like this:
First Measure>

  • At fret 20, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.
  • At fret 18, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
  • At fret 17, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with no Knee-levers.
  • At fret 15, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.

    Second Measure>

  • At fret 13, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
  • At fret 12, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the Knee lowering the second string a half-tone.
  • At fret 10, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with no Knees.
  • At fret 8, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.

    Third Measure>

  • At fret 6, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
  • At fret 5, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with no Knees.
  • At fret 3, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.
  • At fret 1, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2, with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.

    Fourth Measure>

  • At fret 1, play string 3. (Finish)

Careful muting and even timing will keep the notes from 'wadding up'.

Russ, another example of your helpful contributions to the forum.
I am so glad to see that you are "healing and helping".
I was injured last week when my ATV turned over on me on a mountainside. I can't play guitar now but I know I will whip these injuries and soon slide up to my lovable Marlen.
At least I can learn and help on the forum while I am recovering.
Keep on keepin on......JD

Thanks Russ! Quite a hot lick. Reminds me of Doug J's scale work,
or (dare I say) Bobby Thompson's cash-cow banjo lick.

Why the name "Brisklick"?

I've transcribed your words into the following notation.

I'd call it "Connected Descending Fourths".
A study of the notes shows why that name is descriptive of what's happening.

The adventorus student should take this idea and change it to "Connected Descending Thirds", with a Triplet Feel.

Also try "Un-connected Descending Fourths" and "Un-connected Descending Thirdhs".

This is a great intonation exersize, too.

Play it with a drone A note coming from another source. For me it'm my V-SAM.
