Michael Angelo: The Art of Playing Lightning Fast, p.7
Putting It All Together
Amazing the amount of information you can extract from 16 seconds of riffing. Taking what we've learned, we should now be able to build our own Lightning Fast-style solo bonanza. It should be composed generally of sixes, the fingerings should be parallel, and the picking should be consistent between ascending and descending motifs. We'll use the Dorian mode. We'll throw in a couple signature licks to give it that special Angelo flavor.I'm going to hit record on the sequencer, and just blaze and see what comes out. I'll transcribe it all afterward. Stand back!
