Episode 5 - Repeating parts to play faster...

With soloing techniques, sometimes it's necessary to take a given scale or set of notes and pick out the desired feel from the scale, rather than playing each consecutive note in the scale, and then repeat those notes in a pattern that fit the music or what message a phrase should say. With this lick, the goal here is not supreme melody, but rather is an example of how a three-note-per-string pattern can be applied and then repeated in a certain way so the phrase can be played extremely fast without moving much around the fretboard:
