Hey kiddos!!!! Time for a brand new Weekend Wankshop with your buddy Ben Eller. This week, i'm celebrating the most recent addition to my family of fine guitars: an awesome 1987 Ibanez RG550! Just got it this week and i'm already madly in love. It plays like an absolute monster, neck is straight as an arrow with NO twisting, despite being an almost 30 year old razor thin piece of maple! incredible. These old Ibanez guitars were totally magical. I'm planning on a really radical finish for this one, too! Stay tuned for more on that.
You've heard dudes like Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, Jake E Lee, and Yngwie Malmsteen rock licks this one, a classic descending 3's lick! Basically what's going on here is you're walking down a scale 3 notes, then going back a note, walking down three more, walking back one, etc. I'm going to show you how to play licks like this with a combination of legato and alternate picking, which makes it a little easier, and creates a really cool sound. Good stuff.
Playing my Kemper Profiler, as always. Pretty sure the bridge pickup here is a Dimarzio Tone Zone, but i won't know until i look on the back of it.
Thanks for watching!!!
