The one thing that has had a major impact on my playing the last year is learning to go smoothly from one area of the fretboard to another. In this lesson, I'm going to teach you all about it.

For this lesson, we are going to use a backing track on E Dorian.

This technique takes a calculated step of faith in order to work properly. It's about training your fingers so they respond to what you have in your mind.

When you start experimenting with this, you need to do it in the comfort of your home, alone. The reason is that you are going to hit a lot of bad notes at first.

Don't start improvising right away. Pick a string do a slide and finish with a bend; the notes do not matter. Practice that for a little while. Then, you have to pay attention to two notes. The first is the note you are sliding to and the second note is the note you are bending to.

Once we have these two notes we are going to work with the backing track. Usually at least one note is going to work over the backing track. You need to use your ears to define that.

Ask yourself if a particular note works and if not do you need a half step bend or a whole step bend to make it work. Any note can be made right by going one fret above or one fret below.

Once you have made all those decisions you should fill in with other notes from the scale. Eventually, your fingers will know how much strength it's needed to nail all the notes.

Be aware of what is going on at all times and you will master this technique in no time. It is really worth it for adding an extra layer of comfort to your soloing.
