Guitar Lick of The Day: Octave Lick
Time for an octave lick! When I run out of inspiration and need some cool licks, octave licks are usually the solution. Make sure you use your right hand ring finger to play the notes on the high e-string. The combination of pick and fingers is called hybrid picking.
