Next, we move down to an A minor chord using the C and A notes at the fifth fret of the G string and the seventh fret of the D string, and then a C minor chord at the eighth fret of the G string and tenth fret of the D string still using the same pull off and picking patterns as used previously.
We then continue with a downstroke on the B flat at the eighth fret of the D string, and a final upstroke again on the open G. Bar three begins with the same G minor chord for beat one before moving up to a B flat chord with a downstroke on the D at the seventh fret and pulling off to the open G. We then begin to move up and down the fretboard using different chords but keeping the same pull off and picking pattern as well as the open G note. These are all sixteenth notes and we repeat this lick 8 times for the first two bars using some palm muting throughout. These two notes at the root and minor third of G minor, we are only missing D (The fifth) so the implied chord is G minor.
We then play another G note at the fifth fret of the D string using our third finger before playing another open G note using an upstroke. We begin with a downstroke on the B flat on the third fret of the G string using our first finger, then pulling off to the open G note. The lick itself is based around a sort of pedal tone lick utilising the open G string, outlining the chords in the G minor scale using dyads (A two note chord). The difference between the natural and harmonic minor scales is the seventh note of the scale in the natural minor it is a minor seventh, and in the harmonic minor it is a major seventh. This month’s lesson is an open string lick using the G harmonic minor scale.
