Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci has posted his latest installment (March 11th, 2015) of Wild Stringdom via Guitar World.
Petrucci: "This month, I’d like to delve deeper into concepts for expanding scalar ideas across the fretboard. As in the previous columns, I’ll demonstrate how to move diagonally across the fretboard to connect scale positions, an approach that I employ to a great extent to play melodic phrases and solos."
