Some two string trickery. You might break a string.
Playing up/down on the same strings has a different
sound compared to playing across the strings. It helps
building a mental picture of the neck and is a great
tool for shifting between various positions.


G-mixolydian scale ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7 ) fits Dom7th chords

Try this one in the background over a G or C chord.
Let notes ring out, add vibrato now and then.
Speed it up to triplets or 16th notes.
It is only G-notes. Explore different picking pattern
for other rhythms.

Cool Stuff, Bengt - especially the"Experimenting with 3rd string and going down over a C chord lick, where'd you ever come up with that one?

Here's some stuff that really doesn't have anything similar to your examples, but I'll throw it out here anyway. These are a sort of
sliding scale run that sound better the faster you play them.

Sort of stumbled on to the "going down" when fooling
around with different ways of playing chromatic notes.



Example1 E7 (original idea)
F#--------------------------------------------------
Eb--------------------------------11~10-------------
G#--------------------11~12-------------------------
E --------------------------12~11-------10~~~~~~~---

4------7~~6--------5-------------------------------

8--------------------------------------------------
9--------------------------------------------------
10--------------------------------------------------
1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .



Example3

1---7~~8-----8~~7-----7-----------5-----------------

3---------8-----------------------------------------
4------------------7-----7--6~~5-----5--------------
5---------------------------------------------5~~3--

7---------------------------------------------------
8---------------------------------------------------
9---------------------------------------------------
10---------------------------------------------------

4------------3~~3R----3~~3R-------------------------
5------3--------------------3A----------------------
6------------------------------3--------------------
7---------------------------------3-----------------
8------------------------------------3~~3R----------
9---------------------------------------------------
10---------------------------------------------------
1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .

Example3 is two different licks put together to make a long lick




Example4
E7 A
F#---------------------------------------------------------------
Eb--------11~10----10~10LL--------12LL---------------------------
G#---------------------------------------------------------------
E --12~11-------10-----------------------------------------------

E -----------------------------------------------9L~~10L~~~~~~---
D ---------------------------------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------------------------
1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1

Listen close to the "blue" note at 10B~~ 6th string before going to the A chord




Not so obvious scale, but it can be played fast.

Last example shows how it works over different chords.

Licks aplenty to be found in this position.
I have barely scratched the surface.

I found this position by accident. Lots of nice notes to play with different fingerpatterns
The tricky part is the (A)half-pedal. Hold the knee-lever that raise E to F for the whole part.
The example sounds OK with/without blocking.

I really like this position for playing medium/fast swing-blues.
Key of G
Note: Full-step F#-G# on 1st string
Keep pedals/lever engaged the whole time.

The wonderful thing is that all examples can also be played at 4thfret or 8th fret
without sounding "out" in the key of G
I have shown a couple of different picking patterns but there is a lot more to further explore.
