So this picking pattern has a lot of sentimental value to me.

My father taught it to me and I will teach it to my children, and I will tell them that it is a rite of passage into virtuoso-hood.

I strongly recommend you go and check out Child in time by deep purple before watching this video so you can hear the incredible lick in all its glory and then come back and check out the lesson.

As always, share your ideas of it in the facebook group, I would love to see how you apply this to your own style and vocabulary. That’s what makes this all worth while. After all, We aren’t learning it because we are going to play in a Deep Purple cover band.

Here’s The lick from child in time … I actually can’t work out what he’s doing, I think he’s just strumming over the strings and using the left hand to keep it accurate.
