Wow...greg howe is an exceptional guitar player...my new hero? anyway...break time..thought I'd post this cool lick for ya that is early Malmsteen...very cool once it is down and able to improv on it.
You wil start on the high E and go to the 20th fret which is C. you will use a step method...stepping off of C and go down with the rest of the notes.
on the E string it will look like
20 19 20 17 20 15 20
go to the B string and play F# step back to C on the E ...play E on the B string play this entire sequence of notes twice.
so it is C B C A C G C F# C E C B C A C G C F# C E .
Then it is moved down 1 step to B (19th fret)
B A B G B F# B E play it once and then go back and play
C B C A C G C F# C E C B C A C G C F# C E .
then step down
B A B G B F# B E
hrere is where it sounds a little evil..it is to hard to write the arpeggios in so I wil just write the pull offs from the E string as you move down it after playing the second part of the passage again.
it is on the E string
14 17 14 - 11 14 11 - 8 11 8 - 7 8 7 5
to the B string
7 5 4
to the G string
5 4 2
to the D string
4 2 1
then the A string
3 2 0
then the E sting
a lot of things can be done here..maybe it is just just easiest to pull off on E and go G F # E ( 3 2 0 )
A cool twist is to go to the 22nd fret on high E and bend a full step to E or if you have only 21 like I have seen on some guitars..bend 1 and 1/2 steps.
then add another twist from here like...
on the E string 20 19 17
on the B string
19 17 16
on the G string
17 16 14
on the D string
16 14 13
on the A string
15 14 12
on the Low E
15 14 12 11
then possibly into a rythm that would start on theh A string on the 6th fret
6 7 9 7 6 - 4 6 7 6 4
to the E and play
Hmm..this is a little difficult to write out so the notes are just F# E D# C # and then to the low E and
7 5 4 5 4 2 slight bend at F# or trill and pull off to E.
This is very easily improvised over and you can come up with multiple variations.
This is Malmsteen in a can.
