Hey kids! Uncle Ben Eller here with a new Weekend Wankshop for you all. On this episode, we're going to tackle an awesomely evil diminished arpeggio lick that you would be likely to hear in any number of solos by Jeff Loomis, Yngwie Malmsteen, or Francis Bubbletrousers!
Diminished licks add a really nice touch of evil to any metal solo, or a nice tense sound to any jazz solo. Try playing this lick over an E7 chord and see what happens! Instant awesome.
This lick is basically just an ascending version of the Steve Vai Crossroads diminished 4's lick that Troy Grady talks about over on his youtube channel. Troy is absolutely my mentor of picking. Go scope out his channel and find his video on the descending fours Steve Vai diminished lick for full details on how to pick this lick all sick. And tell him Uncle Ben sent you!
