Hi guitar friends, today I’m gonna teach you the 7PM FABULOUS BLUES LICK. I recorded this video lesson at around 7 PM Central European time, and the lick sounds kind of fabulous don’t you think so? 😉 so there you have it. 😄

Blues Lick in the key of A

We’re playing a lick that is created around the pentatonic blues scale and finds itself in the key of A and contains the blue note (b5) and the major 3rd. We got some hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides in there. No bend-ups in this one and the lick finishes with a slide into an A7 chord. Really nice.
