Super Blues Licks

Ten blues licks in A that move you out of one box: position shifts, raked and minor third bends, double stops in fourths, speed licks and sour bends.

What you will be able to play

• Move a blues lick in A from the 12th-fret box into the position with the root on the D string.
• Play raked whole-step bends and minor third bends that land in tune.
• Add a major sixth double stop and major pentatonic notes to a minor blues lick.
• Play double stops in fourths on the G and B strings and lower down with clean muting.
• Outline A7, D7 and E7 through a 1-4-5 blues with one hammer-on lick.
• Build alternate-picking speed with a repeating A minor pentatonic pattern.
• Use sour quarter-tone bends for a vocal blues sound.

Is it for you?

Intermediate blues and rock players who know the A minor pentatonic at the 5th fret, can bend a whole step roughly in tune and use hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides, and who want new vocabulary that travels around the neck. You should know the 1-4-5 blues in A; if you do not, start with the two optional primer lessons. Not for beginners still learning their first scale shape, and not a method for improvising: it is a set of licks to add to your playing.
