A lot of people come up to me and say, "Satchel, you rock! You know all 28 frets of your guitar, man!"
And I say, dude, are you stupid? My guitar only has 24 frets...or something. I don't remember how many frets my guitar has. But the point is that I know how to get up and down my neck, and how do I know that? I know all the scales and all the arpeggios, and all of the positions of all of the modes, in all of the keys.
But once you know all of that stuff, you still need tools to create cool, memorable licks. This month, I'm going to show you one tool I like to use, which is a short, simple repetitive pattern you can easily move up the neck to create really cool licks for your solos.
