Head-Turning Licks & Jams

Blues and rock licks that surprise the listener: pedal steel bends, overbends, harmonics, triads, Dorian and arpeggios over real jam tracks.

What you will be able to play

• Play raked bends, half bends and a long chromatic blues run over a medium blues in A.
• Play a separate lick over the I, IV and V chords of a blues in A and of a slow minor blues in D.
• Play a pinched pedal steel bend and parallel double stops over a D minor chord.
• Move a lick idea through all five minor pentatonic boxes and add natural minor notes to it.
• Use overbends, natural and harp harmonics and slide trills as surprise devices in a solo.
• Build lines from triad pairs and arpeggios such as Fmaj7, Dm11 and G9 over minor grooves.
• Switch between E minor pentatonic, E Dorian and B minor pentatonic over an Em9 to A13 vamp.

Is it for you?

Intermediate electric players who already know the minor pentatonic scale, can bend in tune, use hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides, and play barre chords, and who want licks that sound less predictable than box-one pentatonic. It suits players who learn well by watching and looping, since many licks are shown rather than spelled out. It is not for beginners: there is no basic technique or rhythm instruction, and one lesson on the diminished scale is advanced.
