3 Cool Blues Licks To Spice Up Your Improvisation

February 27, 2010 By Klaus Crow 11 Comments

Last Updated on May 15, 2019 by Klaus Crow

Today I will teach you three cool blues licks to spice up your improvisation skills. There are a lot of blues licks out there that sound a little ordinary so here are some cool blues ingredients to make your improvisation sound more alive.

The licks are all derived from the A minor pentatonic scale, so you can play the licks over an A blues chord progression or a song in Am. I wrote down the tabs (tablature) below. Check out the video to hear what they sound like and how to position your fingers.

Enjoy!

 

 
LICK #1: e:--------7-10--8bu-5------------------------------| B:-6\7-10--------------8-5-------------------------| G:--------------------------7bu-7-5bd--------------| D:-------------------------------------------------| A:-------------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------|
 
LICK #2: e:--8bu-5------------5-----------------------------| B:---------8-5-------------------------------------| G:-------------7-5h6-------------------------------| D:-------------------------------------------------| A:-------------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------|
 
LICK #3: e:-------------------------------------------------| B:-------------------------------------------------| G:--5\7-5---------7----5bu-------------------------| D:--------7-6-5-4---4------------------------------| A:-------------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------|
 
If you liked these cool blues licks you should definitely check out the 50CoolBluesLicksImprovisation course. The 50CoolBluesLicksImprov course will help you develop a thorough understanding of how to play the pentatonic/blues scale all over the neck with great licks, solos, tricks, exercises and more and how to apply that to soloing and improvisation.

    Klaus, thanks for the licks. I’m a hobbiest who can use new insight. Hope you will continue with blues lessons and maybe get into scale practice methods for us beginers.
