Introduction to 6 Note Sequences

6 note Sequences for Lead Guitar

 

Sometimes we hit a wall with lead guitar playing. Searching for the best stuff stuff to play can be a tough task! Either we don’t know what to play, we play the same old licks, or we feel uninspired. The following lesson will help you get through all of that! Fast! This introduction to using 6 note sequences will give you some firepower you can use in your solos.

 

To get instant access to the entire intro, with 12 examples, and video, download the E book here, for free!


Example 1 is our first 6 note sequence, in B minor. Starting on F#, the 5th degree of the scale, we descend the scale in sextuplets, doubling back one note up the scale after every descending 3. Technically this is only a 3 note sequence, but played in sextuplets. Very effective, and a great starting point. Somewhere around the BPM of 110 is pretty fast, and very impressive!

 

Example 2 is another example of the same concept, only in E minor this time. Starting on the Root, E, we sequence down 3 notes at a time, coming back up one note, then dropping 3 once again. The concept of 3’s here is the keystone. You’re moving in 3’s but it’s a pattern of 6 rhythmically.

 

Listen Below to both examples:
