In this video
In the first lesson of this course we're looking at an E minor pentatonic run with ascending hammer-ons. Using the exercises and speed drills we can build up technique to allow us to play at higher tempos. It's important to focus on accuracy and timing over speed - once you've got these down the speed will come.

How to make the most of this course
See below for the interactive TAB synced to video this exercise. Use this to help you master this lick and build up your speed. Useful features of the interactive TAB player include:
- Slow down the lick to see how it's played
- Loop a section to focus on that part before moving on to the next section
- Activate the 'fretboard visualisation', which shows which note is being played as well as which shapes are being used, all in real time
- See the TAB brought to life as the player syncs to the video in real time!
