I mix and match all the ideas contained in the lesson links I gave you.

For example, I'll take the modes across the fretboard as fretboard shapes and play them with different techniques:

1. Sequences of 3s & 4s up and down.
2. Pedal point.
3. Groups of 6 notes on 2 & 3 adjacent strings linked from position to position.
4. Tremolo picking.
5. Legato (hammer on & pull off).

Stuff like that. One of my daily things is this one:
