Today I’ll teach you a nice basic blues guitar lick in the key of A. You can play this lick over a blues chord progression or a blues shuffle in the key of A.
The blues lick is made up notes from the pentatonic scale with an added major 3rd note.
Blues licks are a great way to build, expand and spice up your solo vocabulary. If you’re wondering why would need to learn licks check out 6 Vital Reasons Why and How You Should Learn Guitar Licks.

Nice Lick to practice! Thanks.
Hi Per,
Try to incorporate the lick in your soloing/improvisation as fast as possible, so it becomes
part of your soloing vocabulary ;)
Thanks for the comment.

Tasty ! Many techniques that may be applied to other licks, too. Playing the 7/9 slide as 7h8h9 also sounds cool and emphasizes the blue note.
Thank you very much Klaus for this lesson !
Well! Your attention to detail and assistance is most welcome. A nice break from learning scales and playing arpeggios.
Cheers Klaus!
