In a previous post, Klaus had asked about raising strings one and seven by a half-tone.
Here is 'brisklick' example of using that particular raise on string one.
Click here to hear> Brisklick.
Playing these 'descending diatonic half-scales' goes like this:
First Measure>
- At fret 20, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.
- At fret 18, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
- At fret 17, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with no Knee-levers.
- At fret 15, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.
Second Measure>
- At fret 13, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
- At fret 12, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the Knee lowering the second string a half-tone.
- At fret 10, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with no Knees.
- At fret 8, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.
Third Measure>
- At fret 6, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
- At fret 5, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with no Knees.
- At fret 3, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2 with the 'F' Knee.
- At fret 1, play strings 3, then 1, then 4 then 2, with the 'F' Knee and the Knee raising the first string a half-tone.
Fourth Measure>
- At fret 1, play string 3. (Finish)
Careful muting and even timing will keep the notes from 'wadding up'.

Russ, another example of your helpful contributions to the forum.
I am so glad to see that you are "healing and helping".
I was injured last week when my ATV turned over on me on a mountainside. I can't play guitar now but I know I will whip these injuries and soon slide up to my lovable Marlen.
At least I can learn and help on the forum while I am recovering.
Keep on keepin on......JD |

Thanks Russ! Quite a hot lick. Reminds me of Doug J's scale work,
or (dare I say) Bobby Thompson's cash-cow banjo lick.
Why the name "Brisklick"?
I've transcribed your words into the following notation.
I'd call it "Connected Descending Fourths".
A study of the notes shows why that name is descriptive of what's happening.
The adventorus student should take this idea and change it to "Connected Descending Thirds", with a Triplet Feel.
Also try "Un-connected Descending Fourths" and "Un-connected Descending Thirdhs".
