D Dorian Stacked 4ths Lick

Listen to jazz pianist McCoy Tyner to hear more stacked 4ths in action!

The whole lick is based on D Dorian Mode: D E F G A B C (D)

Practice tips:

Make sure to practise it nice and slow at first. Try to always practise IN TIME. If you can tap your foot while you're playing - and not necessarily looking as silly as I do - you're definitely onto a good thing :)

Make sure the hammer-ons are nice and strong. And finally..choose a good fingering (see mine for ideas) and then stick with it as you build up the speed.....

Hope you'll really enjoy this one!

You can try it out on one of these jam tracks:

Have fun!!!

Beautiful phrasing matey.
A lot of people just comprehend solid sound colours but, clearly, you comprehend the spectrum.

Mate, between these nuggets and your superior backing tracks, you are helping this old dog learn new tricks and getting me out of some ruts I've been stuck in for far too long.

This is fresh, tasty, and melodic - the way it should be - and the fact that you're drawing from musicians other than guitarists is insightful and refreshing.

Thanks again!

cool, thanks! Yep, economy (sweep) picking all the way... :)

[tloadin]

did you sweep pick this lick by any chance? this lick is incredible, thank you for sharing it.

[doobielespaul]

When you are playing normal speed, are you sweeping a little bit or picking every note? Thanks for the lick, really creative one!

[tozguitar]

[powblockmaster]

Are you using sweep or economy picking?
