In a previous post, Klaus had asked about raising strings one and seven by a half-tone.
Here is 'brisklick' example of using that particular raise on string one.
Click here to hear> Brisklick.
Playing these 'descending diatonic half-scales' goes like this:
First Measure>
- At fret 20, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.
- At fret 18, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
- At fret 17, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with no Knee-levers.
- At fret 15, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.
Second Measure>
- At fret 13, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
- At fret 12, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the Knee lowering the second string a half-tone.
- At fret 10, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with no Knees.
- At fret 8, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.
Third Measure>
- At fret 6, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
- At fret 5, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with no Knees.
- At fret 3, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.
- At fret 1, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2, with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
Fourth Measure>
- At fret 1, play string 3. (Finish)
Careful muting and even timing will keep the notes from 'wadding up'.

Russ, another example of your helpful contributions to the forum.
I am so glad to see that you are "healing and helping".
I was injured last week when my ATV turned over on me on a mountainside. I can't play guitar now but I know I will whip these injuries and soon slide up to my lovable Marlen.
At least I can learn and help on the forum while I am recovering.
Keep on keepin on......JD |

Thanks Russ! Quite a hot lick. Reminds me of Doug J's scale work,
or (dare I say) Bobby Thompson's cash-cow banjo lick.
Why the name "Brisklick"?
I've transcribed your words into the following notation.
I'd call it "Connected Descending Fourths".
A study of the notes shows why that name is descriptive of what's happening.
The adventorus student should take this idea and change it to "Connected Descending Thirds", with a Triplet Feel.
Also try "Un-connected Descending Fourths" and "Un-connected Descending Thirdhs".

Why the name "Brisklick"?
Ask Jimbeaux, he knows what a Bris is. [This message was edited by Peter on 27 November 2004 at 09:15 AM.] |

Thanks Russ... and the variations are endless!!
It'll keep me busy for a while.
Joey... what program are you using to do your Tab/Notation? It looks really good and I love the rythm notation on the Tab.

Tabledit, Michael.
It also plays the music.
Do a search in this section for Tabledit and you find out more about it. The designer asked for our advice on the Pedal Steel Features.
The up/down arrows were a feature I requested.
It also does letters. www.tabledit.com |

In the words of Del McCoury "That's hard!"
My right hand blocking is terrible for speedpicking, so I play those notes on the 5th, 4th and 2nd strings, though it sounds more legato.
2--------12L------------10--------------8------
3----------------------------------------------
4-----12-------------10----10--------8F---8F---
5-12A--------12A^10A----------10A^8A---------8A
etc., etc.

Hi Russ, Greetings from Watford UK.
Thanks for the great lick.
Do you use two or three fingers for this run??
Thanks in advance.
Merry Xmas, James.
--------------------------------------
Hi James -
One finger and thumb -
I use thumb on string 3, then 2nd-finger on string 1 then thumb on string 4 then 2nd-finger on string 2.
I keep my righthand somewhat 'fixed' (in a 'stance') so that the distance between thumb and 2nd finger is maintained, and use the 'twist-of-the-wrist' more than flexing-the-knuckles to move the picks.
By using thumb-and-finger (rather than thumb and two fingers) the picking becomes 'alternating in (finger) and out' (thumb) strokes - like a guitarist using the flat-pick with 'alternating up and down' strokes to maximize efficiency.
Thanks,
~Russ

Hello Russ, Many thanks for the finger explanation, it was as I figured.
The "stance" of the finger positioning you advocate is enlightening and is something that I'm sure would be of great interest to all forum members.
I'm indebted to you. . . . . .
Kindest regards.
James (UK)
