I concocted a slide like lick for this week and here it is below:
So, for this one your vibrato and bending skills shall be the main focus - the lick is played using notes from the G mixolydian scale as well as a b3rd which is discretely implemented - check out the Example track as well.
I used it as an introduction to the track, starting on the last 8th note: 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
G mixolydian
Tab:

Chords used: G5 F5 D5 C5 C5 Bb5
Benefits:
- improving bending and vibrato
- being able to emulate slide playing with the aid of vibrato
- developing your blues vocabulary
Assignments:
- record the lick as it is recorded in the example (as many times as you'd like on the backing track) emphasizing on the best slide emulation possible!
Deadline: February, 9th
let's rock!
