E9 unison exercises

Post by Frank Freniere »

Somebody recently bumped up Paul Franklin’s old thread about practicing with the bar which led me to this exercise. Strictly speaking these are not so much unisons as they are single notes in different positions on the fretboard, but you get the picture. Hitting the same note all over the place is a signature Lloyd Green move - I almost fell off my seat the first time I heard him do it live on “Danny Boy” many years ago.

A nice phrasing is to add the 10 string in pairs with the unison note
