    Part 3 Chromatic/Abstract CMaj9#11 Pat Metheny/Hristo Vitchev side stepping arpeggios


    This is a sweet lick influenced by Metheny and Hristo Vitchev's work.


    Roughly based on a CMaj9#11 Arpeggio but it uses the classic metheny technique of chromatic minor 3rds
    played between 2 strings but using a hammer on from nowhere (h) on the bottom note of the pair. This avoids
    the problematic inside-out picking that plagues many guitarists who try to pick the notes of these types of sequence.


    Additionally, this line makes use of chromatic side stepping, utilizing those minor 3rds as passing tones. And because
    of that, while the line works over CMaj9#11, it goes inside and outside the harmony to achive an abstract tonality.
