We’ve got another technique developing sequence here, this time we’ve got a pattern based off of groups of four. Hope you like it!
Sequences are one of the best ways to get faster and develop good technique, so we’re going to learn a 3 up 1 down major scale pattern in this lesson.
In this lesson we’re looking at another pentatonic sequence, this time the 3 up 1 down pattern. Another great one used by legends like Jimmy Page

Joe Bonamassa is an awesome modern day blues shredder, and one of the secrets behind his lead work is his sequential patterns. Today, we’ll break them down for you.
