The Pentatonic Coffee Blues Lick

It’s coffee time! This morning I was playing the blues on my guitar while drinking my oh so delicious dutch “Douwe Egberts” coffee and came up with this neat basic blues lick. The Coffee Blues Lick was born.

The Pentatonic Coffee Blues Lick

The coffee blues lick is in the key of A and is derived from the pentatonic scale with an added 3rd and major 6th note. It’s a real tasty but still fairly easy lick to play. You can play the lick over a 12 bar blues shuffle or a basic 12 bar blues chord progression. A great lick for beginners and intermediate guitar players.

Below you can find the tabs and video lesson to learn this fabulous blues lick.

Enjoy!

Wonderful Wednesday Blues Lick

Hi folks, I wish you a wonderful Wednesday, and with that a Wonderful Wednesday Blues Lick! This blues lick has got slides, double stops and cool bends. I guess it’s more of an intermediate blues lick, but if you are a beginner and you play it slowly you might can get away with it ;)

Blues Lick in the key of E

We’re playing a blues lick that is derived from the minor pentatonic blues scale and we’re playing it in the key of E. The lick contains the blue note (b5) and the major 6th, which makes it fresh, rich and modern sounding. It’s a pretty damn cool lick. 😎👍

Hi amazing people, today I’ve got 12 Bar Blues Riff / Lick with a blues turnaround for you on the table. It’s it’s raw, groovy and in your face. This is a real nice complete riff blues progression to play on your porch while enjoying the sunset with a cold beer.

The chord progression is as follows:
