I've recently switched from being a 3-fingered blues/rock artist of 10 years (you know, thumb hanging halfway over the fretboard on fretboard hand with the palm close to the neck, while using the third finger for all the bends)to a 4-fingered, pinky included, type style with the fretboard hand out from the neck like I was playing jazz bass. I'm working on the pinky with the exercises found on this site and essencially I want to learn to ... I forget the term, but solo really fast in a metal style.

My question is: Everybody knows the art of soloing is repetition. I need some of the basic patterns that are used in metal soloing, ie the patterns that are repeated going up and down the fretboard really really fast. I see some riffs here and there on this site, but no patterns besides some chromatic exercises.

Thanks,
Dave
