Feedback/Suggestions - Fast Scale Runs - Technique gman1 - Feb 17, 2007 - 02:09 PM Post subject: Fast Scale Runs - Technique
I have a question concerning technique used to produce fast , smooth scales on guitar. I'm just learning and have never taken lessons on this instrument ( I did however take lessons for piano for many years so I'm not new to music or playing an instrument ) so I really not sure about thing like how to pick properly and so on. Is it proper technique to pick ever note in the scale or is it correct to mix "hammer-ons" and "pull-offs" into the scale to increase the picking efficiency and produce a smooth quality to the sound of the scale? I've tried using both techniques exclusively without the desired results ( picking all the notes even using a alternating picking technique does not yield a very fast scale and picking the first note on a string and hammering the next two ( acsending ) the last note that the pinky finger hits is not always audible. Could anyone give me an example of how to mix techniques on a certain scale ( say D harmonic minor in 5th position or something like that. ) Thanks for any advice!

It will take quite some time to develop picking technique such that you can blaze through scales. Just set a metronome to a comfortable tempo and play 3 note per string scales as triplets. Keep increasing the tempo as you master the current tempo. Aim to play very cleanly.
With hammer ons and pull offs you need sufficient practice so that you are making strong hammers and pulls (i.e. so you can hear them). I have some legato lessons on my site (legato means hammer ons and pull offs to the guitar player).
later,

Ok , thanks for the information. I was thinking on a fret sequence like ( 5 6 8 ) on a certain string that perhaps the second note would be hammered and then the last note on the string , prior to transition to the next higher string , ( 8 ) would then be picked. I don't know too much about technique for stringed instruments , so I'm just guessing here... Thanks for the information!
