String-skip zigzag riff — G# minor New

Level 4 metal

A riff built on wide string skips (non-adjacent strings) within the G# minor pentatonic, to train picking-hand accuracy beyond a simple string-by-string run.

Tips

Once the riff feels stable, add a slow metronome and increase it in steps of 5 to 10 BPM, without ever sacrificing steadiness.
