Terms:
AP = Alternate Picking
BPM - Beats Per Minute
There's a lot of acronyms I made up because I'm lazy and don't want to type.
Licks:
"ZW AP 1" - I've been working on this lick for so long, I hate it. It's toward the end of the solo to the song "No More Tears" by Ozzy Ozbourne, and its Zakk Wylde's solo. It is extremely important that this be done with ALL ALTERNATE PICKING. The whole point of this lick is to develop AP chops, anyone can do that lick with legato. It gets its sound from the aggressiveness of the AP. There is 6 notes per beat on this lick, if you don't know what the 6 below the notes mean. Lick tempo in the song: 104
"It Dwells In Me" or "It Dwells In Me String Skip Lick" - something like that. I need to come up with definite names. This is one of Oli Herbert's licks from the awesome solo in the song "It Dwells in Me" (note: I don't give a shit about sentence structure and grammar anymore, don't judge me.) This too should be strict Alternate picking, even with the string skipping. For a quick example: on the second measure, the high e string is a down pick, then an up/down on the D and then an up on the G. If you are not used to this style, you should make it a point to slow it down and learn the correct way. Economy picking is great, but strict AP is another great tool you can put in your toolbox. Lick tempo in the song: 180
"Fade to Black Fast Lick" - this is the lick towards the end of the solo in the Metallica song "Fade to Black." This is lick you air guitar at parties (well parties cool enough to play Metallica.) It's not terribly hard. Lick tempo in the song: 140
