Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Tom. This is for Expertvillage.com. These are shortcuts to playing the electric guitar. We're talking about lead guitar and this pentatonic scale. Pulling off--I want to show you a few more exercises to get this. Okay, in this particular session, what I want you to do is pick down, and then move it over a string. So I'm picking down, pulling off, moving over, picking down, and pulling off. And then try going back up again. So, try that, and then also make sure that you've got both of these fingers comfortable pulling strings, so that second exercise is useful to, where you can pick that first string, and then actually put all four fingers on the root where the A was, your fingers on each of the frets. Hit that first one. And just practice pulling it off. Next string. Next string. And then just practice the same pattern, different spots on the neck. And just practice pulling the string off so that you don't get any buzzing."
