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. 😎👍

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

Enjoy!

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.
