Paul Gilbert was one of the headliners of Guitar Summit 2019, he gave a great concert and hosted two masterclasses like the one you can see below. You can see him expose a simple and great idea to move a shape around the neck of the guitar.
The principle
- Take a pattern of 2 or 3 notes on the 2 bigger strings.
- To play it 2 strings higher and an octave above, you just have to shift the hand by 2 frets using the same pattern
- You can repeat the trick on the next 2 strings by shifting 3 frets this time.
There you go ! You have a "recipe" very simple and easy to navigate across the neck.
Listen to what Paul is doing in the video, it's pretty cool.
